Summary

North Caddo Elementary-Middle School in Vivian, LA, serves 502 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade and is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of Louisiana districts.

North Caddo has consistently ranked in the bottom 11-13% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past five years, earning a 1-star rating. Its academic performance is significantly below nearby schools: Herndon Magnet School (8.5 miles away) ranks in the 95th percentile (5-star school), and Benton Elementary School (19.8 miles away) ranks in the 88th percentile (4-star school). Even Mooringsport Elementary School, another low-performing school in the district, ranks higher (21st percentile) than North Caddo. A critical issue is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 34.2%—significantly higher than the state average (22.5%) and more than double the rate at Herndon Magnet (16.7%). However, the school has a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, lower than all nearby comparison schools, suggesting potential for individualized attention. Additionally, North Caddo has maintained a near-zero dropout rate (0.0% for four of the last five years), indicating strong student retention despite academic challenges.

There is a notable bright spot in 3rd grade mathematics, where students achieved a 54% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, exceeding the district average of 50%. Social Studies is a major weakness across all grades, with an overall proficiency rate of just 27%, far below the district (43%) and state (55%) averages. The school also faces challenges with specific subgroups: performance for Special Education students has dropped to the 1st percentile in 2024-2025, indicating a critical need for targeted intervention. Over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, highlighting the socio-economic challenges the school navigates.
