Summary:
The 71251 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Jackson Parish school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 49 out of 118 in the state, the schools in this area show a mix of academic performance, with one standout alternative high school and several struggling elementary and middle schools.
Weston High School, an alternative school, stands out with relatively strong academic performance, including a 4-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a low dropout rate of 3.3%. Weston High School outperforms the district and state averages in several LEAP test subjects. In contrast, Jonesboro-Hodge Elementary School and Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School struggle to meet state averages in Mathematics and English Language Arts, despite having lower student-teacher ratios than the state average.
A common challenge across all the schools in the 71251 zip code is high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 24.6% to 24.6%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, with 56.17% to 85.54% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may be contributing to the academic performance disparities observed between the schools in this area.
