Summary:
The city of Longville, Louisiana, is served by three public schools within the Beauregard Parish school district, forming a complete educational pipeline from Pre-K through 12th grade for a total of 1,810 students.
The standout performer in Longville is South Beauregard Upper Elementary School (grades 4-6), which acts as the district's academic engine. It achieved the highest proficiency rates in the district for both Mathematics (75%) and English Language Arts (86%), with its 6th-grade ELA score of 90% being the single highest subject-specific score across all three schools. This school also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the city at just 12.2%, well below the district and state averages. Meanwhile, South Beauregard Elementary School (PK-3) is a rising star, having jumped from the 62nd to the 88th percentile in state rankings over the past four years. It now posts exceptional scores of 83% proficiency in Math and 82% in ELA, despite having the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (47.52%). South Beauregard High School (grades 7-12) is a consistent performer with a very high graduation rate of 92.2% and an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.6%. It also shows a notable strength in science, with an 82% proficiency rate in Biology.
A key takeaway is the clear "feeder pattern" of success: students enter at the rapidly improving Elementary school, maximize their performance at the Upper Elementary school, and then graduate at high rates from the High School. The data also powerfully demonstrates that socioeconomic status does not dictate performance, as the Elementary school with the highest economic need also has the highest Math proficiency and is the fastest-improving school in the district. The High School's 63% proficiency in all-grades Math, however, suggests a potential area for targeted improvement compared to its elementary counterparts.
