Summary:
The city of Welsh, Louisiana is home to two schools: Welsh Elementary School and Welsh High School. While both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Jefferson Davis Parish schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly at the high school level.
Welsh High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 102-74 high schools in Louisiana over the past three years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students excel in several end-of-course exams, such as Geometry, Biology, and English II, outpacing state and district averages. In contrast, Welsh Elementary School has more mixed results, with strong performance in Mathematics but lower proficiency in English Language Arts compared to state and district averages.
Despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by both schools, the data suggests that the Jefferson Davis Parish school district is providing a quality education to its students. The high performance of Welsh High School in particular is a testament to the district's efforts to support student learning and prepare them for success beyond the classroom.
