Summary:
Pollock, Louisiana is served by a single public school, Pollock Elementary School, which educates 421 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Grant Parish school district.
Pollock Elementary School is a standout performer in Mathematics and Social Studies, significantly outperforming both its district and the state of Louisiana. In the 2025-2026 school year, 74% of students were proficient in Math (compared to 57% in the district and 62% statewide), and 64% were proficient in Social Studies (compared to 47% in the district and 55% statewide). The 4th grade class is particularly exceptional, achieving an 84% proficiency rate in Math, which is 23 points higher than the district average. While the school’s English Language Arts proficiency (72%) is on par with the state average, its overall academic strength is notable, especially given that 66.75% of students are economically disadvantaged and the chronic absenteeism rate is 21.8%.
Despite strong test scores, the school’s state ranking has declined from the 74th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that other schools across Louisiana are improving at a faster pace. The school’s consistent excellence in Social Studies across all tested grades suggests a well-implemented curriculum in that subject. The standout performance of the 4th-grade math cohort points to a highly effective teacher or targeted intervention that could serve as a model for improvement in other areas. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, Pollock Elementary School provides a strong educational foundation, though addressing chronic absenteeism remains a key opportunity for further growth.
