Summary

Carter C. Raymond Junior High School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Lecompte, Louisiana, with 167 students. The school is part of the Rapides Parish school district, which is ranked 31 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Unfortunately, Carter C. Raymond Junior High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, male students, and African American students, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Louisiana elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61-94% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17-25% in recent years, and higher-than-average dropout rates between 2.8-4.3% in recent years.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Ruby-Wise Elementary, Caroline Dormon Junior High, and Poland Junior High, Carter C. Raymond Junior High School lags far behind in academic performance, with proficiency rates 20-50 percentage points lower in core subjects like math and English language arts. These stark contrasts suggest the school faces significant challenges in supporting its predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the poor academic outcomes.
