Summary

Red River Elementary School is a public elementary school in Coushatta, Louisiana, serving 612 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Red River Parish school district, which is ranked 80 out of 118 districts in the state.

Red River Elementary School has shown consistent academic improvement in recent years, with its statewide ranking rising from 641 out of 731 Louisiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 266 out of 666 in 2024-2025. The school's performance is now above the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. Notably, the school has particularly strong performance among its African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking 139 out of 501 and 169 out of 661 Louisiana elementary schools, respectively, in 2024-2025. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.0% to 24.6% in recent years, remains a concern.

When compared to the nearby Red River Academic Academy, also in the Red River Parish district, Red River Elementary School significantly outperforms its counterpart in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates. This suggests Red River Elementary School is providing a higher-quality education within the same district. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85.29% to 98.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, highlighting the school's ability to support these students academically.
