Summary

Wright Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Tallulah, Louisiana, with 299 students enrolled. The school is part of the Madison Parish School District, which is ranked 115 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the same district, Wright Elementary's performance is significantly lower than nearby schools like Delhi Elementary School and Tallulah Elementary School. Wright Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past decade, with only 11% of students proficient or better in Math and 32% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 60% and 70%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is even more concerning, with these groups ranking in the bottom 10-20% of their respective categories statewide.

The school's challenges extend beyond academics, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.9% to 32.7% and an exceptionally high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.06% to 91.64% in recent years. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the school's struggles, which may require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
