Summary:
The Beauregard Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 12 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The data reveals several standout schools in the district, as well as some areas for improvement across the system.
South Beauregard Elementary School and South Beauregard Upper Elementary School consistently perform above the parish and state averages on LEAP test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, the high school performance is more variable, with South Beauregard High School and Merryville High School outperforming DeRidder High School and East Beauregard High School.
One significant concern across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, the wide range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 34.05% at South Beauregard High School to 63.26% at Singer High School, suggests notable socioeconomic differences between the school communities that may contribute to performance gaps. By analyzing these key metrics and identifying the district's strengths and weaknesses, Beauregard Parish can work to address challenges and promote best practices across the system.
