Summary

Loranger Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 851 students in grades PK-4 in Loranger, Louisiana, which is part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district. Despite being part of a low-performing district, Loranger Elementary consistently outperforms the parish and state averages on LEAP tests across grades and subjects, with 64% proficiency in ELA and 57% in math, compared to 58% and 47% for the parish, and 70% and 60% for the state, respectively.

However, the school faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.9% to 37.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large majority (64.86%) of Loranger's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's Hispanic and multi-racial student groups perform particularly well, ranking in the top half of Louisiana elementary schools in those categories, the African American, white, and special education student groups lag behind, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of the state.

By leveraging its academic successes, addressing equity gaps, and tackling chronic absenteeism, Loranger Elementary School has the potential to become a high-performing institution that serves all of its students effectively. The school's strengths and areas for improvement suggest that it could serve as a model for other schools in the Tangipahoa Parish district, potentially helping to raise the overall performance of the district.
