Summary

Abita Springs Elementary School in Abita Springs, LA, serves 587 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd grade in the highly-ranked St. Tammany Parish school district, which is in the 84th percentile statewide. This mid-sized school has a long history of strong academic performance, but recent data reveals a school facing emerging challenges, particularly with chronic absenteeism, while still maintaining strong foundations in core subjects.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptional performance in Mathematics, with 76% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—significantly outpacing the district average of 71% and the state average of 62%. This makes it a "math powerhouse" compared to nearby schools like Covington Elementary (58%) and E.E. Lyon Elementary (67%). However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency lags at 73%, below the district average of 79%, a gap not seen in top-performing peers like Mandeville Elementary and Pontchartrain Elementary. The most concerning differentiator is a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.8%, dramatically higher than nearby high-achieving schools such as Pontchartrain Elementary (6.4%) and Woodlake Elementary (10.4%).

Despite these challenges, the school excels in serving specific student groups, with Hispanic and Special Education students ranking in the 85th and 76th percentiles statewide, respectively. Social Studies is also a bright spot, with 67% proficiency above the district average. The school's ability to achieve strong math and social studies scores despite high absenteeism speaks to the quality of instruction when students are present. If Abita Springs can reduce its chronic absenteeism to the 6-10% range of its neighbors, its overall performance and ranking would likely see a significant boost, potentially returning to the 5-star status it held in prior years.
