Summary

Eastside Elementary School in Denham Springs, LA, is a top-performing public school serving 439 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the highly-ranked Livingston Parish school district. This school stands out as a consistent academic powerhouse, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in eight of the last ten years and ranking in the top 7% of all elementary schools in Louisiana for the 2025-2026 school year.

What truly sets Eastside apart is its exceptional performance in Social Studies, where 85% of students were proficient—a remarkable 20 percentage points higher than the district average and 30 points higher than the state average. This makes Eastside a "Social Studies powerhouse" compared to nearby schools like South Live Oak Elementary School and Juban Parc Elementary School, which, while also high-performing, don't match this level of achievement. The school also excels in supporting all students, ranking 4th in the entire state for its work with English Language Learners and in the top 5% for students from low-income backgrounds. This is especially impressive given that nearly 67% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate higher than many neighboring schools.

Beyond academics, Eastside fosters a healthy learning environment with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.1 and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.0%—less than half the state average and lower than nearby schools like Juban Parc Elementary School (15.9%) and Walker Elementary School (17.3%). While the school saw a slight dip in performance during the 2024-2025 school year, it demonstrated strong resilience by bouncing back to the 93rd percentile in 2025-2026, a recovery not seen in all nearby schools. For parents seeking a stable, high-achieving school that delivers outstanding results for every child, Eastside Elementary is a standout choice.
