Summary

Loranger Elementary School in Loranger, LA, serves 800 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district, which ranks in the bottom 21st percentile statewide.

Loranger Elementary has shown a clear upward trend in recent years, moving from a history of 1-star ratings to a consistent 2-star rating over the last four years, now ranking in the 40th percentile among Louisiana elementary schools. This is a notable improvement compared to nearby schools like Woodland Park Magnet, Lucille Nesom Memorial, and Independence Leadership Academy, which have remained in the bottom 10th percentile. A key strength is its 4th-grade performance, where students significantly outperformed both district and state averages in Mathematics (69% proficient) and English Language Arts (73% proficient) in the 2025-2026 school year. This is a differentiator from many nearby schools, such as Hammond Westside Montessori and Amite Elementary Magnet School, which struggle to meet state averages in these subjects. However, the school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 compared to peers like Hammond Westside Montessori (11.2:1) and Roseland Montessori (12.3:1), suggesting larger class sizes.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant challenge at Loranger Elementary, with a rate of 37.0% in 2024-2025—well above the state average of 22.5% and the district average of 30.5%. This is notably higher than schools like Champ Cooper Elementary School (20.2%) and Roseland Montessori (23.7%), but comparable to other struggling schools in the area like Independence Leadership Academy (38.0%) and Midway Elementary School (39.6%). While the school's improvement is encouraging, the 2025-2026 data shows a slight dip in overall rank and a significant drop in performance for female students, indicating that recent gains may be fragile and require sustained effort to solidify.
