Summary:
The city of Lacombe, Louisiana is home to two schools: Chahta-Ima Elementary School and Bayou Lacombe Middle School. Both schools serve the Lacombe community and are part of the St. Tammany Parish school district, which is ranked 19 out of 118 districts in Louisiana.
Overall, Chahta-Ima Elementary and Bayou Lacombe Middle are performing reasonably well compared to state averages, though there are some areas where they could potentially improve. Chahta-Ima Elementary has been ranked between 159 and 291 out of 727-730 Louisiana elementary schools, with a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger. Bayou Lacombe Middle's statewide ranking is not provided, but the St. Tammany Parish district has a 4-star rating. Both schools have proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts that are generally on par with or slightly below the district averages, but above the state averages.
One area of concern for both schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, both schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 65-67%. However, the low student-teacher ratios of 11.4 at Chahta-Ima Elementary and 11.1 at Bayou Lacombe Middle suggest that students may be receiving more individualized attention and support.
