Summary:
The West Feliciana Parish school district in Louisiana is home to two exceptional elementary schools: Bains Elementary School and Bains Lower Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the highly-ranked West Feliciana Parish School District.
Bains Elementary School stands out as a top-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 100 elementary schools in Louisiana over the past three years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments significantly exceeding the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was an impressive 90%, compared to 80% for the district and 60% for the state.
Both Bains Elementary School and Bains Lower Elementary School have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates of 24.6%, which is lower than the state average. However, the schools also have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting the presence of socioeconomic challenges that the schools may need to address. Additionally, the significant difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools (37.7 students per teacher at Bains Elementary School and 9.3 students per teacher at Bains Lower Elementary School) may indicate different instructional approaches or resource allocation within the district.
