Summary

Plaucheville Elementary School is a PK-6 school in the rural community of Plaucheville, Louisiana, serving 582 students within the Avoyelles Parish School District.

Plaucheville Elementary shows a clear strength in upper elementary mathematics, with 6th-grade math proficiency reaching 78%—the highest among nearby schools like Lafargue Elementary (76%), Bunkie Elementary (54%), and Cottonport Elementary (42%). However, the school faces a "3rd grade slump," where math proficiency drops to just 43%—20 points below the state average. Social studies is a consistent weakness across all grades, with only 44% of students proficient compared to 55% statewide. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism at 20.5% is lower than the district average (26.1%) and most peers, including Riverside Elementary (32.9%) and Marksville Elementary (26.2%), suggesting a stronger culture of attendance.

The school is on an upward trajectory, improving from the 26th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026, with rising test scores in both math and English. Just 20 miles away, Lafargue Elementary (a 3-star school) outperforms Plaucheville in nearly every subject, offering a valuable benchmark for improvement. Meanwhile, Cottonport Elementary, only 4 miles away, ranks in the 11th percentile, highlighting the range of school quality within the district.
