Summary:
The city of Lawtell, Louisiana has only one school, Lawtell Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the St. Landry Parish school district.
Based on the available data, Lawtell Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer in the region. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools over the past few years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are lower than the St. Landry Parish and Louisiana state averages, and its dropout rate of 3.3% is higher than the typical elementary school. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (81.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Lawtell Elementary School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, the data suggests a need for improvement in academic outcomes and overall school performance. The school's low rankings, test scores, and high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates indicate that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues and help the school better serve its students.
