Summary

Summer Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Shreveport, Louisiana, with 478 students enrolled. The school faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement and attendance of its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Summer Grove Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized assessments in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 50% in Caddo Parish and 60% statewide. The school also struggles with very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 28.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Summer Grove Elementary's performance lags behind that of nearby schools like Forest Hill Elementary and Keithville Elementary/Middle School, which outperform it on assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

The school's challenges extend to supporting the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as female students, African American students, and students with special needs. In 2024-2025, Summer Grove Elementary's rankings for these subgroups were 505 out of 633, 409 out of 501, and 215 out of 241 Louisiana elementary schools, respectively. These issues appear to be worsening over time, as the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 626 out of 731 in 2018-2019 to 591 out of 666 in 2024-2025. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improving instructional quality, attendance, and support for struggling students at Summer Grove Elementary.
