Summary

DeQuincy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in DeQuincy, Louisiana, with 207 students enrolled. The school is part of the Calcasieu Parish school district, which is ranked 33 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

DeQuincy Elementary has shown strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in LEAP Math and ELA that often exceed the Calcasieu Parish and Louisiana state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 72% proficiency in Math and 79% in ELA, compared to 60% and 70% statewide, respectively. The school has particularly strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as male students and special education students, who ranked highly compared to other Louisiana elementary schools. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 24.6% in 2023-2024, which is still lower than the nearby Maplewood Elementary and Western Heights Elementary schools.

DeQuincy Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 55.56% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to nearby schools, DeQuincy Elementary generally outperforms them in Math and ELA proficiency rates, particularly in the upper grades, but faces similar challenges with chronic absenteeism. The school's strong academic performance and support for specific student subgroups suggest it has effective instructional practices, but the high rate of economically disadvantaged students may require additional resources and support to address their unique needs.
