Summary:
The city of New Roads, Louisiana has only one school in the data set - Rosenwald Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6. Rosenwald Elementary is part of the Pointe Coupee Parish school district, which is ranked 83 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rosenwald Elementary has consistently struggled with low performance, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, it ranked 629 out of 666 elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating. The school has high dropout rates, reaching 3.3% in 2022-2023, and chronic absenteeism, at 24.6% in 2023-2024. Academically, Rosenwald Elementary's LEAP test scores are well below state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 40% in Mathematics and 28% to 58% in English Language Arts.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, suggesting it has the resources to provide more individualized attention. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.54% in 2023-2024, indicates that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Further investigation into the school's teaching practices, curriculum, and resource allocation would be necessary to identify areas for improvement and develop targeted interventions to support student success.
