Summary

Plantation Park Elementary School in Bossier City, LA, serves 518 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Bossier Parish school district, a relatively high-performing district ranking in the top 32% of Louisiana. However, the school itself is facing significant challenges, with a current state ranking in the bottom 19% of elementary schools in Louisiana for the 2025-2026 school year. The most critical issue is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 40%, which is nearly three times the state average and the highest among nearby Bossier Parish elementary schools. This absenteeism crisis is strongly linked to a sharp, multi-year decline in academic performance, with math proficiency dropping from 62% to 42% and ELA from 60% to 56% over the past two years.

When compared to nearby schools, the contrast is striking. Apollo Elementary School, less than a mile away, serves a larger student body with a higher student-teacher ratio but achieves significantly better results, with math proficiency at 61% and ELA at 71%. Similarly, W.T. Lewis Elementary School boasts 75% math and 87% ELA proficiency. This suggests that Plantation Park’s struggles are not solely due to demographics or district resources but are deeply tied to school-specific factors, particularly attendance and engagement. The school’s performance for its most vulnerable students has also collapsed, with Special Education students dropping from the 37th percentile to the bottom 9th percentile, and low-income students falling from the 45th to the 20th percentile.

Despite these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope: 5th-grade students achieved a 62% proficiency rate in English Language Arts in the 2025-2026 school year, the school’s strongest performance in any subject or grade level. This suggests that some students are developing academic resilience, which could be a foundation to build upon. The immediate priority must be a school-wide initiative to improve attendance, coupled with targeted interventions for Special Education and low-income students. The success of nearby Apollo Elementary demonstrates that improvement is possible, but it will require a focused effort to address the attendance crisis and support the school’s highest-need students.
