Summary

Alice N. Boucher Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 425 students in grades PK-5 in Lafayette, Louisiana, which is part of the Lafayette Parish School District. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized assessments, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts significantly below the Lafayette Parish and Louisiana averages.

Alice N. Boucher Elementary has particularly low academic performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and students with special needs, ranking in the bottom 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for these groups. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 38.4% over the past few years, compared to the state average of around 15-20%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

In contrast, nearby schools like L. Leo Judice Elementary, Myrtle Place Elementary, and Woodvale Elementary consistently outperform Alice N. Boucher Elementary on academic measures and have much lower rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the students at Alice N. Boucher Elementary.
