Best Public Schools in Shreveport, LA


Summary:

The city of Shreveport, Louisiana is home to 54 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Caddo Parish school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 84 out of 118 in Louisiana and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, there are several standout schools that demonstrate exceptional academic performance.

The top-performing schools in Shreveport include Caddo Parish Magnet High School, ranked 6th out of 329 Louisiana high schools and rated 5 stars, as well as several highly-ranked elementary magnet schools like South Highlands Elementary Magnet School, Fairfield Magnet School, and Eden Gardens Fundamental Elementary School. These schools boast near-perfect proficiency rates in core subjects, significantly outpacing the district and state averages.

In contrast, many other schools in Shreveport struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below state levels. Factors like high rates of chronic absenteeism and a strong correlation between low socioeconomic status and poor academic performance suggest significant inequities in educational opportunities across the district. However, the success of the magnet and fundamental schools demonstrates that targeted programs and school choice can drive academic excellence, even within a lower-performing district.
