Summary:
The 71052 zip code area is home to three schools - Mansfield Elementary School, Mansfield High School, and Mansfield Middle School - all part of the DeSoto Parish school district. While the schools exhibit varying academic performance, they share common challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Among the standout schools, Mansfield Elementary School excels in LEAP English Language Arts tests, with 71% proficiency across all grades, compared to the district (78%) and state (70%) averages. However, the school's LEAP Mathematics performance lags behind, with only 57% proficiency. Mansfield Middle School shines in LEAP Algebra I and English I end-of-course exams, with 100% and 93% proficiency respectively, but struggles with LEAP Mathematics, with only 32% proficiency. Meanwhile, Mansfield High School performs relatively well on LEAP Geometry but lags behind on other LEAP end-of-course exams and has a lower 4-year graduation rate than the state average.
Across all three schools, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% and the significant economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 79% to 84%, present unique challenges. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.1 to 12.3, suggest opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions to help improve student outcomes in this area.
