Taking a quick look at the Caddo elementary school results

Man, there's a lot of elementary schools in Caddo.

That means that there's a lot to talk about. So let's begin with English/language arts.

Caddo fourth graders had difficulty in the subject with more than half of the schools decreasing the percentage of students who earned basic or above on the state exam. This was a tough subject with some percentage decreases in the double digits including, Pine Grove (from 92 percent last year to 59 percent this year), Timmons (from 61 percent last year to 44 percent this year), Queensborough (from 60 percent last year to 43 percent this year), and Caddo Heights (49 percent last year, 31 percent this year.)

There were some bright spots:

Central, Hosston Alternative, Mooringsport, and Claiborne percentage of students passing the exam is in the double digits. Leading the pack, Hosston Alternative with 30 percentage points over last year, Central with 23 percentage points, and Mooringsport and Caliborne with 17 percentage points each.

Caddo fourth graders did only slightly better in Math. Caddo Heights, Mooretown, and Timmons had large decreases in the percentage of students testing basic and above on the test. Timmons took the biggest dip going from 73 percent to 48 percent.

Some took a double digit increase. Oak Park increase 36 percentage points.

Other big increases: Claiborne, Judson and Mooringsport.
