Summary

Bonne Ecole Elementary School in Slidell, LA, serves 651 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the highly-rated St. Tammany Parish school district.

Bonne Ecole stands out for its strong and consistent math performance, with 73% of students proficient in math, which is above both the district and state averages. This is a significant differentiator from nearby schools like Alton Elementary School (40%) and W.L. Abney Elementary (43%). The school also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide for Hispanic students and the 79th percentile for special education students. However, its English Language Arts (ELA) performance, while above the state average, lags behind the district average, particularly in 3rd grade where only 63% of students are proficient compared to 73% district-wide. This suggests a focus area for improvement in early literacy.

Bonne Ecole occupies a stable middle ground among its peers, outperforming the nearby Florida Avenue Elementary School by a wide margin in every subject, but not reaching the top-tier performance of Whispering Forest Elementary School. A notable concern is the school's volatile chronic absenteeism rate, which spiked to 24.4% in 2023-2024 before dropping to 19.9% in 2024-2025. While this rate is better than the state average, it remains a challenge. The school's overall state ranking also saw a decline in the most recent year, dropping to the 66th percentile, a trend worth monitoring as it works to stabilize attendance and boost ELA scores.
