Summary

Audubon Elementary School in Baton Rouge, LA, is a mid-sized public school serving 495 students in grades PK-5 within the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, where 71.9% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Audubon has experienced a dramatic decline over the past six years, dropping from a 4-star rating (83rd percentile statewide) in 2017-2018 to a 1-star rating (22nd percentile) currently. The school's most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism, which has remained alarmingly high at 25.4%—significantly worse than nearby schools like Riveroaks Elementary (19.4%) and Twin Oaks Elementary (17.9%). This persistent disengagement is likely a major factor in the school's academic struggles. While 3rd graders perform relatively well, matching the district in ELA and outperforming it in Math, there is a sharp drop-off in 4th and 5th grades, where proficiency falls well below district averages. For example, 4th-grade Math proficiency is just 39% compared to the district's 60%, suggesting a systemic issue in sustaining academic growth beyond the early grades.

The contrast with GEO Prep Academy of Greater Baton Rouge, a charter school just 1.71 miles away with a similar percentage of low-income students (70.6%), is striking. GEO Prep has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 8.6% and significantly higher test scores, such as 81% 3rd-grade Math proficiency versus Audubon's 56%. This comparison indicates that the challenges at Audubon are not solely due to student poverty but are heavily influenced by school-level factors like culture and engagement. Additionally, the school's performance for English Language Learner students has dropped dramatically from the 79th percentile to the 13th percentile, and Social Studies proficiency is critically low at 39%, a weakness shared by many nearby schools in the district.
