Summary

Vinton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 442 students in grades PK-5 in the rural town of Vinton, Louisiana, which is part of the Calcasieu Parish school district.

While the Calcasieu Parish district is ranked 33 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, Vinton Elementary's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math (49%) and ELA (62%) were significantly below the Calcasieu Parish (70% and 77%) and Louisiana state (60% and 70%) averages. Additionally, Vinton Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 24.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Vinton Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50 schools in the state, African American and White students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% and bottom 5% of schools, respectively. Special education and economically disadvantaged students also struggle, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of schools. Vinton Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 293 out of 729 schools in 2020-2021 to 477 out of 666 schools in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating. This is lower than the nearby DeQuincy Elementary, St. John Elementary, and Frasch Elementary schools, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings.
