Summary

Glendale Elementary School in Eunice, LA, is a small K-4 school within the St. Landry Parish school district, serving 259 students in a high-poverty community where nearly 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Glendale has experienced a dramatic and concerning decline in recent years. After consistently ranking in the 50th-70th percentile statewide for nearly a decade, the school's state ranking plummeted from the 59th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 13th percentile in 2025-2026—a 46-percentile-point drop. This decline is reflected in test scores: math proficiency fell from 65% to 42%, and English Language Arts proficiency dropped from 72% to 56% over just three years. The school now underperforms across all student groups, with white students ranking in the 3rd percentile and African American students in the 11th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has also more than doubled, from 11.3% in 2021-2022 to 22.7% in 2024-2025, now exceeding the state average.

What makes this decline particularly striking is the comparison to nearby East Elementary School, located less than 1.5 miles away. Both schools serve student populations with nearly identical rates of economic disadvantage (87.64% vs. 86.13% free/reduced lunch), yet East Elementary has soared to the 58th percentile while Glendale has collapsed. This stark contrast suggests that factors within the school's control—such as curriculum, instruction, leadership, and school culture—are driving the performance gap, not the demographics of the student body. Glendale is at a critical juncture, and the focus must be on identifying the root causes of this sudden, systemic decline to reverse the alarming trend.
