Summary

St. Landry Charter School in Opelousas, LA, is a K-7 elementary school serving 315 students in a high-poverty area, where 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past four years.

Academically, St. Landry Charter School struggles significantly compared to nearby schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 31% of students were proficient in Math and 55% in ELA, which is far below schools like Port Barre Elementary School (75% Math, 75% ELA) and Ecole Saint-Landry (76% Math, 89% ELA), both just 7-9 miles away. Even within the same parish, Leonville Elementary School (59% Math, 72% ELA) outperforms St. Landry Charter. However, there is a notable bright spot: 74% of 6th graders were proficient in Math, which is 9 points above the state average. This success does not carry over to 7th grade, where proficiency drops to just 33%, a 41-point decline. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (18.1%) than the state average (22.5%), which is better than nearby Grand Coteau Elementary School (31.4%) and Washington Elementary School (37.6%).

St. Landry Charter School operates under the St. Landry Primary School Incl. district, which is ranked in the 13th percentile statewide, while most nearby schools are in the St. Landry Parish district, ranked in the 50th percentile. This suggests the school's challenges are tied to its own district's effectiveness. Despite high poverty, nearby Church Point Elementary School (85.7% poverty) achieves significantly higher scores (65% Math, 61% ELA), showing that poverty is not an insurmountable barrier. The school's performance has plateaued in the bottom 20% for four years, indicating a need for significant intervention, particularly in Math and Social Studies, where scores are lowest.
