Summary

Spring Creek Elementary School in Kentwood, LA, is a small, rural school serving 292 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it stands out as a high-performing beacon within the Tangipahoa Parish school district. Despite serving a community where about 69% of students face economic disadvantages, the school consistently achieves academic results that surpass both district and state averages, earning a solid 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. This is a remarkable feat, especially when compared to nearby schools like Chesbrough Elementary School, which has seen its ranking drop to 1 star, or O.W. Dillon Leadership Academy, which remains in the bottom 15th percentile statewide.

On the 2025-2026 LEAP tests, Spring Creek students excelled, with 78% proficient in English Language Arts and 70% in Math—both well above the state averages of 70% and 62%, respectively. The school is particularly effective with its male students, who rank in the 78th percentile statewide, and its low-income students, who rank in the 65th percentile, showing that the school’s programs successfully help children overcome challenges. Smaller class sizes, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1, likely contribute to this success by allowing for more individualized attention. In contrast, a nearby high-performing peer, Roseland Montessori (10.85 miles away), scored lower in both Math (59%) and ELA (62%).

While Spring Creek’s academic performance is stellar, chronic absenteeism remains a key area for improvement, with a rate of 29.5% that is higher than the state average of 22.5%. Interestingly, Roseland Montessori, which has a similar poverty rate, has a much lower absenteeism rate of 23.7%, suggesting an opportunity for Spring Creek to learn from its neighbor’s attendance strategies. Overall, Spring Creek Elementary is a school that is beating the odds, delivering strong results for its students and community, with focused efforts on attendance and closing achievement gaps poised to make it even stronger.
