Elementary Schools in Madison Parish

Summary:

The Madison Parish school district in Louisiana is home to two elementary schools: Tallulah Elementary School and Wright Elementary School. Both schools have consistently low statewide rankings, with Tallulah Elementary ranked in the bottom 5% and Wright Elementary ranked in the bottom 2% of Louisiana elementary schools in recent years.

The data reveals that both schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (around 25%) and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (over 89% and 91%, respectively). Additionally, Wright Elementary School's proficiency rates in Mathematics (11%) and English Language Arts (32%) are substantially lower than the state averages (60% and 70%), indicating significant achievement gaps that need to be addressed.

Overall, the elementary schools in Madison Parish appear to be struggling, with both Tallulah Elementary and Wright Elementary ranking among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism, poverty, and academic underperformance will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this district.
