Summary:
The 71418 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area show a mix of performance, Columbia Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently outpacing the Caldwell Parish and Louisiana averages in several subject areas.
The data reveals stark differences in school performance within the same district. For example, Caldwell Parish Junior High School achieved a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages, while Union Central Elementary School struggles in several subject areas. This disparity suggests that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the specific needs of each school and student population.
The data also highlights the potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and school performance. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Union Central Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and overall performance compared to schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates, like Columbia Elementary School. This underscores the importance of considering factors beyond just academic metrics when evaluating school quality and identifying opportunities for improvement.
