Public Grades

Summary

Epps School is a small elementary school in Epps, Louisiana, serving 118 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the West Carroll Parish school district, which is ranked 51 out of 114 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Epps School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic subjects. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 33% of Epps students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 63% in the district and 59% statewide. In English Language Arts, Epps had 38% proficiency, while the district and state had 65% and 67%, respectively. The school also has a higher percentage of African American students (32.2%) and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (83.05% qualify for free/reduced lunch), which may be contributing factors to the low performance.

Epps School has ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools for the past 10 years, and the achievement gap between the school and surrounding schools like Rayville Elementary, Oak Grove Elementary, Holly Ridge Elementary, and Delhi Elementary appears to be widening over time. Addressing the unique needs of the student population, particularly the high percentage of low-income and minority students, will be crucial in driving sustainable improvements at Epps School.
