Red River Parish Schools received school performance scores for the 2024 school year. The district score remained a B with a 5.2-point gain and is within 3 points of the state average. This is the most significant assessment growth in over 4 years and the highest score ever recorded for Red River LEAP 2025 assessments. All schools have outperformed their assessment levels before the accountability system change in 2019.

The Elementary School maintained a C and grew 2.9 points overall. This puts the school 2 points from a B. The LEAP 2025 assessment index rose by 3.7 points. In subgroup performance, minority populations scores climbed 9.2 points from 2022, and the students with disabilities Leap 2025 performance scores rose 7 points.

Red River Academic Academy maintained an A grade and grew 9.5 points in their total letter grade. This school is a Top Gaines Honoree and Opportunity Honoree in the state.

Red River Jr. High grew 2.4 points overall and 4.7 points in their total letter grade. It produced its highest Dropout Credit Accumulation Index to date, 146 out of 150. These accomplishments put the Junior High School within 2 points of a C grade.

The High School maintained an A and grew 1.4 points on LEAP 2025 assessments and 3.4 points on ACT, securing the highest ACT/Workkeys index to date.

Louisiana’s statewide school performance score in 2024 improved by nearly two points. The statewide score is 80.2, a 1.7-point increase from 2023 when the statewide score was 78.5. These results come one year after Louisiana students exceeded the pre-pandemic performance score.

Next year, Louisiana’s accountability system will change again, and all status/grades will be transformed. The sliding scale has hampered school district efforts to achieve stability in achievement. Simulated scores for all districts will be released in the coming weeks.
