Summary:
The 71433 zip code area is home to two alternative high schools, Glenmora High School and Plainview High School, both part of the Rapides Parish school district. While the schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, they demonstrate pockets of academic excellence, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and specific grade levels.
Plainview High School stands out for its exceptional performance in ELA and Geometry. In 2023-2024, 75% of Plainview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the Rapides Parish average of 73% and the Louisiana average of 69%. Additionally, 100% of Plainview students were proficient or better in Geometry, significantly outperforming the Rapides Parish (64%) and Louisiana (58%) averages. In contrast, Glenmora High School stands out for its strong performance in 6th and 7th grade ELA, with 87% and 78% of students, respectively, scoring proficient or better, well above the Rapides Parish and Louisiana averages.
The schools' performance varies widely across different grade levels, with some grades performing much better than others in the same subject. For example, Plainview High School had 95% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA, but only 72% of 4th graders meeting the same standard. Additionally, Glenmora High School's 8th grade Math proficiency (40%) is significantly lower than the Rapides Parish (58%) and Louisiana (48%) averages. These inconsistencies suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across all grade levels and subjects.
