Summary:
The city of Loranger, Louisiana is home to three schools: Loranger Elementary School, Loranger High School, and Loranger Middle School, all of which serve the Tangipahoa Parish district. These schools demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Loranger Elementary and Loranger High standing out as the top performers.
Loranger Elementary School consistently earns a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across multiple grade levels. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%. In contrast, Loranger High School shines with a higher-than-average 4-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a low dropout rate of 3.3%. The high school also performs above the district average in several end-of-course exams, including Algebra I, Geometry, and English II.
While the schools in Loranger generally perform at or above the district averages, they face significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 55.49% to 64.86%. This suggests that the Loranger community faces economic disadvantages that may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, all three schools have chronic absenteeism rates that exceed the state average, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance.
