ROSENWALD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Rosenwald Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Pointe Coupee Parish school district, located in New Roads, LA with about 405 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, Rosenwald Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Rosenwald Elementary School is located in the town of New Roads, Louisiana, and serves the educational needs of the local community as part of the Pointe Coupée Parish School District. As a public elementary institution, the school is dedicated to providing foundational academic instruction to students in the primary grade levels, focusing on building essential literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills in a supportive learning environment.

The school holds historical significance, as the name "Rosenwald" honors the legacy of the Rosenwald Schools—a network of thousands of schools built in the early 20th century to provide education to African American children in the rural South. Today, the modern-day Rosenwald Elementary continues that commitment to community education by offering a structured curriculum designed to prepare students for middle school and beyond. It serves as a vital neighborhood hub, emphasizing student growth and community involvement within the New Roads area.
