Summary

Lenwil Elementary School in West Monroe, LA, serves 277 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Ouachita Parish School District, a 3-star district. The school has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, but over 80% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty population. Lenwil currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 18th percentile statewide, reflecting significant academic challenges.

A major concern at Lenwil is chronic absenteeism, with 28.3% of students missing too many days in the 2024-2025 school year—far higher than the district average of 18.5% and more than double the rate at nearby Highland Elementary (13.1%). Academically, only 43% of students are proficient in Math, compared to 64% district-wide, and just 53% in English Language Arts versus 75% district-wide. This performance gap is stark when compared to Boley Elementary, just 3.67 miles away, which achieves 80% proficiency in Math and 84% in ELA. Lenwil’s state ranking has also declined sharply, from the 53rd percentile in 2016-2017 to the 18th percentile today, while schools like Highland and Boley have improved.

Interestingly, Lenwil shows a notable difference in serving its students by gender: male students rank in the 30th percentile (2 stars), while female students rank in the 9th percentile (0 stars). A promising comparison is Riser Elementary, just 1.74 miles away, which serves a nearly identical demographic (82% free/reduced lunch) and has a similar size and student-teacher ratio. Yet Riser outperforms Lenwil in every academic category, including 61% proficiency in ELA versus 53%, and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (22.7% vs. 28.3%). This suggests that Lenwil’s challenges are not solely due to poverty, and that Riser’s strategies for improving attendance and outcomes offer a local model for improvement.
