Eunice’s public schools outscore 60% of Louisiana districts

The grade covers the public school district serving Eunice, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. 24% of students in Eunice’s public schools are proficient in math, below the Louisiana average (32%). Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Louisiana, not nationally.
