Summary:
The 71465 zip code area is home to two schools - Olla-Standard Elementary School and LaSalle High School, both part of the LaSalle Parish district. Olla-Standard Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Louisiana elementary schools with strong academic results. In contrast, LaSalle High School has more mixed performance, with some subject areas exceeding state averages but others falling behind.
Olla-Standard Elementary boasts impressive LEAP test scores, with 72-77% of students proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts across all grades - significantly above the state averages. The school also holds a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and serves a relatively affluent student population, with a low 25% free/reduced lunch rate. LaSalle High, on the other hand, has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 38% and more varied academic performance on End-of-Course exams, exceeding state averages in some subjects but trailing in others like Geometry.
While both schools have a predominantly white student body, the data highlights the disparities that can exist between institutions, even within the same district and zip code area. Understanding these differences is crucial for identifying areas that may need additional support or resources to ensure equitable access and opportunities for all students, regardless of their background.
