Summary

LaSalle Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Baton Rouge, LA, serving 338 students within the East Baton Rouge Parish School District, where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant economic need.

One of LaSalle’s standout features is its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, which is much lower than nearby schools like Broadmoor Elementary School (14.8:1) and Cedarcrest-Southmoor Elementary School (17.5:1), and even lower than high-performing magnet schools like Westdale Heights Academic Magnet School (13.9:1). This suggests students receive a high level of individualized attention. While the school’s overall state ranking is in the 29th percentile, it shows notable strengths for specific groups, with African American students performing in the 48th percentile statewide. Additionally, 5th graders achieved a 70% proficiency rate in English Language Arts, nearly matching the state average of 73%—a potential bright spot the school can build on.

Despite rising chronic absenteeism (from 9.7% in 2021-2022 to 23.4% in 2024-2025), LaSalle’s test scores in Math and English Language Arts have remained stable or slightly improved, suggesting effective instructional strategies are helping students who attend regularly. However, the school faces challenges serving all students equally, with Hispanic students ranking in the 1st percentile and low socio-economic status students in the 16th-24th percentile. LaSalle is also situated near two top-tier magnet schools—Westdale Heights Academic Magnet School (99th percentile) and B. R. Foreign Language Acad. Immersion Magnet (97th percentile)—which have much lower poverty rates and near-zero chronic absenteeism, highlighting the competitive landscape LaSalle navigates.
