Summary:
The Pointe Coupee Parish in Louisiana is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from grades K-5. While the schools share a common district, their performance and demographics vary significantly. Valverda Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 268th out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools in 2024-2025 and achieving the highest proficiency rates in both Mathematics (64%) and English Language Arts (78%) across all grades. In contrast, Rosenwald Elementary School has consistently ranked among the lowest in the state, with a ranking of 680th out of 730 schools in 2022-2023.
Upper Pointe Coupee Elementary School also shows strong performance, particularly in 4th grade Mathematics (64% proficiency in 2024-2025) and 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts (70% and 68% proficiency, respectively). However, the district-level performance in Pointe Coupee Parish is generally lower than the state averages in both subject areas, indicating a need for improvement across the board.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the observed performance disparities, as the schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 67.24% to 87.54%. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% across all 4 schools in 2023-2024 is a concern that may contribute to the academic challenges faced by students in the parish.
