Summary:
The Washington Parish school district in Louisiana is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with some standout institutions like Wesley Ray Elementary School and Enon Elementary School outperforming the parish and state averages in key metrics.
Wesley Ray Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 251 out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools in 2024-2025. The school excelled in mathematics proficiency, with 77% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly above the Washington Parish (56%) and Louisiana (60%) averages. Enon Elementary School also demonstrated strong performance, consistently ranking among the top 50% of Louisiana elementary schools in the past 3 years and outperforming the parish and state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency.
However, the data also reveals areas of concern, such as the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all 4 schools, which were 24.6% in 2023-2024, higher than the state average. Additionally, Franklinton Primary School struggled with lower proficiency rates compared to the parish and state, particularly in mathematics. The variation in school performance within the district suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the identified areas of concern and improve overall student outcomes.
