Summary:
The 71282 zip code area in Louisiana is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). Unfortunately, the overall academic performance of these schools is consistently poor, with all of them ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state.
Based on the data, none of the schools in this area can be considered standouts. Madison High School has a 83.2% four-year graduation rate, while Madison Middle School and Madison High School both have high dropout rates of 3.3%. Test scores across all grade levels and subject areas are significantly below state averages, with only 11% of students at Wright Elementary being proficient in math, compared to a state average of 60%.
The schools in the 71282 zip code area also face significant socioeconomic challenges, with all of them having very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.84% at Christian Acres Alternative to over 90% at some of the other schools. Chronic absenteeism rates are also very high, with all schools reporting over 24%. Additionally, the Madison Parish school district as a whole is ranked 115 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating a lack of resources and funding that may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes in this area.
