Summary:
The 70584 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through middle school grades, including 2 traditional public schools and 1 public charter school. While all 3 schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, they exhibit varying levels of academic performance and other key metrics.
Ecole Saint-Landry, a public charter elementary school, stands out with consistently strong academic achievement, significantly outperforming the district and state in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Cankton Elementary School and Sunset Middle School, both traditional public schools, also perform well academically but with more fluctuations in their statewide rankings over time.
A common challenge across all 3 schools is high chronic absenteeism rates, around 24-25%, well above the state average. Additionally, Sunset Middle School has a relatively high 3.3% dropout rate. Resource allocation also varies, with Ecole Saint-Landry having a very high student-teacher ratio of 39:1, compared to 13.7:1 at Cankton Elementary and 16.3:1 at Sunset Middle. Overall, the presence of a high-performing public charter option in this area provides families with an alternative to the traditional public schools, which face attendance and resource challenges.
