Summary

Shenandoah Elementary School in Baton Rouge, LA, is a high-performing public school serving 584 students in grades PK-5 within the East Baton Rouge Parish district, standing out as a consistent academic leader in the area.

Shenandoah Elementary has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine consecutive years, placing it in the top 15% of all Louisiana elementary schools. Its academic performance is exceptional, with 87% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 78% in Math—both significantly higher than the district averages of 64% and 55%, respectively. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6%, less than half the district rate of 30.5% and the lowest among nearby schools like Jefferson Terrace Academy (29.9%) and Cedarcrest-Southmoor Elementary School (20.5%). While nearby competitors like Parkview Elementary School and Woodlawn Elementary also perform well, Shenandoah consistently outperforms them, especially in Math (78% vs. 70% and 76%) and ELA (87% vs. 79% and 79%). Even compared to the top-tier Lewis Vincent Elementary School in Livingston Parish, Shenandoah holds a slight edge in ELA (87% vs. 84%).

A standout feature is the school's ability to grow students academically as they progress. Proficiency rates increase from 3rd to 5th grade in every subject, with 5th graders reaching 94% in ELA and 84% in Math—a clear "value-add" that shows the school actively develops strong learners. Additionally, despite fluctuations in the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (from 47% to 64% in recent years), academic performance has remained high and stable, demonstrating the school's effectiveness regardless of socioeconomic changes. While the school excels with most student groups, it has a potential area for focus with Hispanic students, whose performance dropped from a 4-star to a 2-star rating in recent years. Overall, Shenandoah Elementary is a reliable, high-quality choice for families seeking a school that consistently delivers strong results within a lower-performing district.

Excellent teachers and school support. My son just finished his first year in Shenandoah (4th grade) and we are more than happy with his teachers. They are awesome, really care about their students and love to teach. From my point of view, the school can move up 100 steps up on his ranking Close Quote
