Summary

Boley Elementary School in West Monroe, LA, is a public school serving 279 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Ouachita Parish School District, and it stands out for achieving top-tier academic results despite serving a community where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What makes Boley truly exceptional is its ability to outperform expectations. In the 2025-2026 school year, Boley scored 80% proficient in math and 84% in English Language Arts, dramatically higher than nearby district peers like Riser Elementary (35% math, 61% ELA) and Riverbend Elementary (25% math, 54% ELA). Even more impressive, Boley ranks in the 97th percentile for serving low-income students, a stark contrast to Riser (25th percentile) and Riverbend (10th percentile), despite all three schools having similar poverty rates. This shows Boley is adding remarkable academic value for its students. Interestingly, Boley even outperforms Kiroli Elementary, a school with a much lower poverty rate (47%), ranking 93rd in the state compared to Kiroli's 111th, and scoring higher in English Language Arts (84% vs. 81%).

However, Boley's performance has been somewhat volatile, dropping from a peak rank of 26th in the state in 2024-2025 to 93rd in 2025-2026. A key area for improvement is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 17.4%—better than the state average of 22.5% and peers like Riser (22.7%), but significantly higher than high-performing J.S. Clark Magnet Elementary (5.4%). J.S. Clark, located just two miles away in the City of Monroe School District, has a slight edge in core subjects (88% math, 94% ELA) and a much lower absenteeism rate, highlighting that addressing attendance could help Boley return to its 5-star status and compete with the very best schools in the region.
