Summary

Barkdull Faulk Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Monroe, Louisiana, part of the City of Monroe School District. With 245 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Barkdull Faulk Elementary faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. It consistently underperforms the district and state on LEAP assessments in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, with only 35% of students proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 50% for the district and 60% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 36.3% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, certain student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and students with disabilities, have lower rankings compared to their peers statewide, indicating a need for more targeted interventions.

When compared to nearby schools, Barkdull Faulk Elementary consistently underperforms. For example, J.S. Clark Magnet Elementary, just 1.88 miles away, ranks in the top 5% of Louisiana elementary schools and significantly outperforms Barkdull Faulk on academic measures. However, the school does show some potential bright spots, such as stronger 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency, suggesting there may be effective practices in certain areas that could be leveraged to improve performance across the board.
