Summary

LaGrange Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Franklin, Louisiana, with 215 students. The school is part of the St. Mary Parish school district, which is ranked 56 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being in the same district, Berwick Elementary and Bayou Vista Elementary have significantly higher test scores and rankings than LaGrange Elementary, which has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools and maintained a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. LaGrange Elementary struggles across various student subgroups, with its rankings for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom half of the state.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.9% to 43.5%, and the very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.73% to 90.7%, suggest that socioeconomic challenges may be contributing to the school's low academic performance. Despite being in the same district, LaGrange Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its rankings or test scores over the past several years, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and support from the St. Mary Parish district.
