Summary:
The 70601 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, all part of the Calcasieu Parish school district. The district is ranked 33 out of 118 in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The standout school in this area is T.S. Cooley Elementary Magnet School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Louisiana, receiving a 5-star rating and 100% proficiency in math and English language arts. Another high-performing school is Oak Park Elementary School, which ranks in the top half of Louisiana elementary schools and has strong test scores, particularly in English language arts. However, the majority of schools in the area struggle with high rates of chronic absenteeism, free and reduced-price lunch recipients, and varying test scores, with some schools having less than 50% proficiency in certain subjects and grade levels.
The two middle schools in the area, Oak Park Middle School and Ray D. Molo Middle Magnet School, both have a higher-than-average dropout rate of 3.3%, which is a concern and may require further investigation. The student-teacher ratios across the schools range from 9.5 to 18.6, with the magnet schools generally having higher ratios.
