Summary

Bossier Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Bossier City, LA, serving 239 students within the Bossier Parish school district, where over 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most exciting news for Bossier Elementary is a dramatic academic turnaround in the most recent school year. Math proficiency jumped from 25% to 50%, and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rose from 24% to 44%—the largest single-year gains among all nearby schools. This surge pushed the school past several peers, including Meadowview Elementary School (36% math) and Plantation Park Elementary School (42% math). However, this success is fragile. The school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism: nearly half of all students (47.7%) miss 10% or more of the school year, the highest rate among all nearby schools and more than double the rate at Shreve Island Elementary School (14.9%). Sustaining academic progress will require an aggressive focus on improving attendance.

Another area of concern is a significant drop in performance between 4th and 5th grade. For example, math proficiency falls from 57% in 4th grade to 39% in 5th grade, and social studies drops from 46% to 16%. This pattern is steeper than at other schools like Central Park Elementary School, suggesting a specific challenge in preparing students for upper elementary curriculum. On a positive note, the school’s recent improvement has allowed it to pull ahead of nearby Caddo Parish schools like J. S. Clark Elementary School (29% math) and Creswell Elementary School (29% math), indicating that support from the higher-ranked Bossier Parish district may be a contributing factor to the school’s recent success.
