Summary

Kiroli Elementary School in West Monroe, LA, is a mid-sized school serving 450 students in grades PK-5 within the above-average Ouachita Parish School District, and it consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state.

Kiroli stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 83% of students proficient in Math and 81% in ELA for the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding district and state averages. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Riser Elementary (35% Math, 61% ELA) and Riverbend Elementary (25% Math, 54% ELA). The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.2%, less than half the district rate of 18.5% and far below the state average of 22.5%. This high engagement is a strong indicator of a supportive school environment. Additionally, Kiroli excels in supporting its special education students, who ranked in the 87th percentile statewide. While the school experienced a temporary dip in the 2024-2025 school year, it rebounded strongly to the 84th percentile, showing resilience. A fascinating pattern is the "5th Grade Surge," where 5th graders achieve exceptional results, including 94% proficiency in ELA, suggesting a particularly effective upper-grade program.

Kiroli’s success is achieved with a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (47.11%), which is a key differentiator from other high-performing peers in the district. For example, Boley Elementary (1.97 miles away) achieves similar test scores while serving a student body that is nearly 80% economically disadvantaged. This comparison highlights that there is no single path to excellence in the Ouachita Parish district, with Kiroli’s story being one of consistent, high-quality instruction in a more advantaged setting. However, the school has a persistent achievement gap for its African American students, who have consistently ranked in the 40th-49th percentile over the last three years, indicating a critical area for targeted support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
