Summary:
Zip code 71449 in Many, Louisiana, is home to a single elementary school, Many Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 4 with an enrollment of 613 students and is part of the Sabine Parish school district.
Many Elementary School is a school on a clear upward trajectory. After two years of ranking in the 43rd and 45th percentiles (2 stars), it made a significant leap to the 61st percentile (3 stars) in the 2025-2026 school year, jumping 110 places in the state rankings. This improvement is reflected in its test scores, where the school now outperforms the state average in all three core subjects: Mathematics (65% proficient vs. 62% state), English Language Arts (72% vs. 70% state), and Social Studies (62% vs. 55% state). Social Studies is a particular strength, especially in 3rd grade, where 70% of students are proficient—a remarkable 21 points above the state average. However, a notable concern is a dramatic 22-point drop in math proficiency between 3rd grade (76%) and 4th grade (54%), suggesting a potential challenge in the transition to 4th-grade math curriculum.
A key area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 32.0%—significantly higher than the district average of 28.2% and the state average of 22.5%. Despite this, the school achieves above-average test scores, indicating that the students who are present are performing well. With 73.41% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1, Many Elementary School demonstrates strong academic potential, but addressing the high absenteeism rate could be key to unlocking even greater success and closing the 4th-grade math gap.
