Public Grades

Summary

Mildred S. Harris Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bridge City, Louisiana, serving 403 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 60 out of 114 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Mildred S. Harris has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (44.67%) compared to nearby schools. However, the school consistently underperforms academically, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (43%) and English Language Arts (47%) well below the state averages of 59% and 67%, respectively. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups rank particularly low, in the bottom 20% of Louisiana elementary schools. Additionally, Mildred S. Harris has a high percentage of students (77.17%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While the nearby schools in the Jefferson Parish district also struggle academically, Mildred S. Harris consistently performs worse than its peers. For example, Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff School and Dr. John Ochsner Discovery Health Sciences Academy, both within a 3-mile radius, outperform Mildred S. Harris in all subject areas. The school's declining performance and the significant challenges faced by its Hispanic and English Language Learner students suggest that targeted interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes.
