Summary

Greenlawn Terrace Elementary School in Kenner, LA, serves 542 students in grades PK-5 within the Jefferson Parish school district, where nearly 70% of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has faced significant academic challenges over the past decade, with its state ranking dropping from the 51st percentile in the mid-2010s to the 21st percentile in the most recent data, earning a 1-star rating. While this marks a slight recovery from being in the bottom 10% in previous years, Greenlawn Terrace remains the lowest-performing school in its immediate area, ranking below nearby schools like A.C. Alexander School (358th) and Harold Keller Elementary School (401st).

The school's most pressing academic weakness is in English Language Arts (ELA), where only 51% of students are proficient—a gap of 19 percentage points below the district average of 63% and the state average of 70%. This is a much larger deficit than at nearby schools like John James Audubon School (62% proficient) or Walter Schneckenburger Elementary School, which has remained more stable over time. Social Studies is another universal weak point, with only 40% of students proficient compared to 50% in the district. However, there is a consistent bright spot in 4th grade, where students scored 60% proficient in Math (matching the district average) and 55% in ELA, suggesting effective instructional strategies that could be replicated across other grades.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, dropping from a peak of 29.5% during the pandemic to 18.6% in 2024-2025, which is now below both the district (21.5%) and state (22.5%) averages. This is a key differentiator from lower-performing peers like Tom Benson School (28.2%) and G.T. Woods School (23.6%). The school has also shown a remarkable recent improvement in serving its African American students, who jumped from the 16th to the 45th percentile. However, the school continues to struggle with its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 14th percentile, and its large population of low-SES students, who rank in the 21st percentile—directly mirroring the school's overall performance.
