Summary

Washington Montessori is an elementary school located in Kenner, Louisiana, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 60th out of 114 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Washington Montessori has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school's academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages. Its proficiency rates in Mathematics (54%), English Language Arts (62%), and Social Studies (45%) are all below the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Airline Park Academy for Advanced Studies and Rudolph Matas School, Washington Montessori consistently underperforms in terms of test scores and overall school rankings.

Over the past three years, Washington Montessori has seen a decline in enrollment, from 257 students in 2022-2023 to 236 students in 2020-2021. Additionally, the school's racial composition has shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students. Despite these changes, the school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating persistent academic challenges that will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at Washington Montessori.
