Summary:
In zip code 71467, located in Pollock, Louisiana, there is a single elementary school, Pollock Elementary School, serving grades PK through 5 with a total enrollment of 421 students as part of the Grant Parish school district.
Pollock Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, particularly in Mathematics, where 74% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—significantly outpacing both the district (57%) and state (62%) averages. The school also excels in Social Studies (64% proficient vs. 47% district and 55% state) and matches the district average in English Language Arts (72% proficient, above the state's 70%). This academic success is notable given that 66.75% of students are economically disadvantaged, as indicated by free or reduced lunch eligibility. However, the school's state ranking has been volatile, dropping from 175th (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to 272nd (3 stars) in 2024-2025, before recovering slightly to 261st (3 stars) in 2025-2026. Chronic absenteeism stands at 21.8%, which is lower than the district average of 25.3% but slightly above the state average of 22.5%.
A key area for improvement is early-grade English Language Arts, where 3rd-grade proficiency (62%) falls below both the district (69%) and state (64%) averages, contrasting with strong 3rd-grade Math performance. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 is favorable, and the 2025-2026 test scores suggest a recovery year after a previous decline. Overall, Pollock Elementary School demonstrates strong academic outcomes in a challenging context, with particular strengths in math and social studies, though attention to early reading skills and chronic absenteeism could further stabilize its performance.
