Schools in Richland Parish also received performance scores for the 2016-2017 school year with 7 of 11 schools showing increases.
Superintendent Sheldon Jones said, “Our district experienced a unique set of challenges to begin the 2016-2017 school year. Eight of eleven schools experienced the impact of changes to either attendance zones or grade configurations. The changes created unforeseen challenges to educating our students. Despite these challenges, more schools earned progress points which reflect improvement in student performance from the previous year. We are encouraged that Richland Parish maintained its previous letter grade for District Performance Score. We credit the efforts of our students, parents, educators, and greater school community for improving many of our School Performance Scores. The Richland Parish School Board remains committed to meeting the challenges of changes to public education.”
