Summary:
The 70773 zip code has only one school, Rougon Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 499 students. The school is part of the Pointe Coupee Parish school district, which is ranked 83 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rougon Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is consistently below the Pointe Coupee Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 48%, compared to 49% for the district and 60% for the state, while the ELA proficiency rate was 62%, the same as the district but lower than the state's 70%. The school also faces challenges with a high dropout rate of 3.3% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic performance challenges, as 69.54% of Rougon Elementary School's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 in the same year suggests that it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education and prepare its students for academic success, especially when compared to the Pointe Coupee Parish district and the state of Louisiana as a whole.
