Best Public Schools in Angie, LA

Summary:

The city of Angie, Louisiana has only one school, Wesley Ray Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Washington Parish school district.

While Wesley Ray Elementary School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 430 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 251 out of 666 schools in 2024-2025. The school's mathematics proficiency rates have been above the district and state averages, but its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates have been below the state average. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% and a relatively high percentage of students (57.52%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Wesley Ray Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.1, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention to students. However, the school's declining performance ranking and the need to improve ELA proficiency suggest that the school and district should focus on developing strategies to address these areas and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
