Summary:
The 71261 zip code has only one school, Delta Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 524 students. Based on the available data, Delta Elementary School appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Morehouse Parish elementary schools over the past three school years and earning a 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating, indicating very poor overall performance.
The school's proficiency rates in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are significantly lower than the Morehouse Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 33%, compared to 60% for the state, and its ELA proficiency rate was 37%, compared to 70% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th grade Mathematics (24% proficient) and 4th grade ELA (22% proficient).
Additionally, Delta Elementary School has a concerning 3.3% dropout rate and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The data suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to the school's poor performance and help improve student achievement.
