Summary

East Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Eunice, Louisiana, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 317 students. The school is part of the St. Landry Parish school district, which is ranked 48 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Elementary School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 164 out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the St. Landry Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades, with 79% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 80% proficient or better in ELA.

Despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.28% to 80.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, East Elementary School has been able to maintain strong academic performance, outpacing the district and state averages. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 16.1 over the past few years, may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.9% to 30.9%, is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and intervention.
