District-Level NCES Analysis
Pointe Coupee Parish operates 5 public schools serving 2,710 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Pointe Coupee Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,010 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 53.5% local, 25.9% state, and 20.6% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 48/100, ranked #98 of 175 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 652.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 44.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 58.8% African American, 30.4% White, 9.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Livonia High School, with a diversity index of 56.3/100.
Its largest campus is Livonia High School, enrolling 899 students (39% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Upper Pointe Coupee Elementary School, at 241 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Livonia High School accounts for 33.2% of all Pointe Coupee Parish student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Pointe Coupee Parish-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Pointe Coupee Parish school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Pointe Coupee Parish school enrollment ranges from 241 students (lowest) to 899 students (highest), a spread of 658 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Pointe Coupee Parish has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 73.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Pointe Coupee Parish student-counselor ratio is 653:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Pointe Coupee Parish chronic absenteeism rate is 44.9% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
