Elementary Schools in Union Parish

Summary:

Union Parish, Louisiana has only one elementary school, Union Parish Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other Louisiana elementary schools, ranking in the bottom half of the state in recent years.

Union Parish Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on LEAP tests falling below the state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. The school's proficiency rates have declined from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, indicating a need for improvement. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to high poverty, with 67.9% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% compared to the state average.

With only one elementary school in the data set, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons to identify standout schools or best practices. Expanding the data set to include more schools in the Union Parish district or the surrounding region would provide a more comprehensive analysis and potentially highlight areas for improvement or successful strategies that could be replicated at Union Parish Elementary School.
