Summary

Curtis Elementary School in Bossier City, LA, serves 441 students in grades 4 and 5 and is part of the Bossier Parish school district, which holds a 3-star rating.

Curtis Elementary stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) program, with 79% of students proficient—outperforming the state average (70%) and every nearby school, including A.C. Steere Elementary School (79%). Math proficiency (63%) is on par with the state average and a clear strength compared to neighbors like Waller Elementary School (28%) and Bellaire Elementary School (55%). The school’s unique structure—serving only 4th and 5th graders—allows it to focus resources on these critical transition years. However, Social Studies proficiency (60%) lags behind the district average (62%), and chronic absenteeism has risen sharply to 26.3% in 2024-2025, above the state average (22.5%) and the highest among Bossier Parish peers like Sun City Elementary School (23.8%).

While Curtis achieves strong results with a higher student-teacher ratio (16.7:1) than nearby schools, it faces challenges supporting specific student groups. Performance for students from low-income backgrounds has declined from a 3-star to a 2-star rating, and military-connected students have received low ratings for three consecutive years. In contrast, Eden Gardens Fundamental Elementary School, a 5-star school in Caddo Parish, achieves near-perfect test scores with a much lower free/reduced lunch rate (17.17%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.0%, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on school outcomes.
