Carrie Martin Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Bossier Parish school district, located in Plain Dealing, LA with about 142 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
