Summary:
The city of Plaucheville, Louisiana has only one school, Plaucheville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts, it generally performs below the Avoyelles Parish and state averages in key areas.
Plaucheville Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 437 out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 543 out of 730 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on LEAP assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in Mathematics generally below the district and state averages, while English Language Arts proficiency is closer to the district and state levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.72%), indicating a relatively high-need student population, and a student-teacher ratio of 20.7, which is slightly higher than the typical recommended range.
One significant concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which was 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the desired level. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance and suggests a need for targeted interventions to address the root causes of student absences. Overall, while Plaucheville Elementary School has some positive attributes, it faces several challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and there is room for improvement in areas like Mathematics performance, student attendance, and overall academic achievement.
