Summary:
The 71454 zip code area is home to two schools - Montgomery High School and Verda Elementary School. While both schools serve a high-need student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, their academic performance varies significantly.
Montgomery High School has consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and social studies, with scores below the Grant Parish and state averages. In contrast, Verda Elementary School generally performs better, with many grade levels and subjects meeting or exceeding the district and state averages. This disparity in academic performance suggests that the schools may face different challenges in addressing the unique needs of their student populations.
The data also reveals that Montgomery High School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and multi-racial students compared to Verda Elementary School. Both schools, however, serve a significant economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the challenges they face in providing the necessary resources and support to their students.
