Summary:
The Discovery Health Sciences Foundation district in Louisiana is home to a single elementary school, Baton Rouge Ochsner Discovery, a public charter school serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 151 students.
Baton Rouge Ochsner Discovery appears to be a relatively high-performing school within its district, ranking 225 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its statewide ranking dropped to 403 out of 666 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates were higher than the state average in 2024-2025, but its Mathematics proficiency rates, particularly in the upper elementary grades, were significantly lower than the state averages.
Additionally, Baton Rouge Ochsner Discovery faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 73% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may be impacting the school's academic performance and warrant further investigation and targeted improvement efforts.
