Summary

Apollo Elementary School in Bossier City, LA, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 756 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and is part of the Bossier Parish school district. While the school has a history of strong performance, ranking in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools from 2015 to 2019, it has experienced a steady decline over the last five years, dropping from the 71st percentile in 2021 to the 54th percentile in 2026. This places Apollo as a solidly average performer, sitting between higher-performing schools like Stockwell Place Elementary (97th percentile) and W.T. Lewis Elementary (86th percentile), and lower-performing neighbors such as Plantation Park Elementary (19th percentile) and Bossier Elementary (14th percentile).

One of Apollo's most notable strengths is its exceptional performance with specific student groups. The school has shown remarkable success with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 77th percentile in 2023-2024 and the 70th percentile in 2024-2025. Additionally, Apollo has a volatile but promising program for military-connected students, jumping from the 15th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 73rd percentile in 2025-2026, a significant achievement given the school's proximity to Barksdale Air Force Base. However, the school struggles with its White students (36th percentile) and students from low socio-economic backgrounds (45th percentile), indicating that its support systems may not be equally effective for all demographic groups.

Academically, Apollo shows an interesting pattern in its 2025-2026 test scores, with 4th-grade students significantly outperforming 3rd and 5th graders in English Language Arts (ELA), achieving a 79% proficiency rate that exceeds both the district and state averages. This "4th grade bump" suggests a particularly effective teacher or curriculum intervention at that grade level. Chronic absenteeism is a challenge at 21.3%, but this is a relative strength compared to neighboring schools like Plantation Park Elementary (40.0%) and Bossier Elementary (47.7%). Overall, Apollo Elementary offers a mixed picture: a school with pockets of excellence but a concerning downward trend that parents should investigate further.
