Summary:
There is one elementary school in the Louisiana Key Academy- Caddo district, Louisiana Key Academy Caddo, which serves grades K-5 in Shreveport, LA, with a small enrollment of 110 students.
Louisiana Key Academy Caddo stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.3:1, which is highly favorable for personalized learning. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 7th percentile of Louisiana districts with a 1-star rating. The strongest subject is English Language Arts (ELA), where 60% of students are proficient, compared to the state average of 70%. Mathematics proficiency is 40% (state: 62%), and Social Studies is a critical weakness at only 23% proficiency (state: 55%). Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at 27.0%, notably higher than the state average of 22.5%, and likely contributes to the low academic performance. A positive trend is seen in math, where proficiency increases from 38% in 3rd grade to 50% in 5th grade, suggesting improving instruction as students progress.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Louisiana Key Academy Caddo offers a very small, intimate learning environment with small class sizes, but academic outcomes are well below state averages across all subjects. The school's relative strength in ELA and the upward trend in math are bright spots, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and very low Social Studies scores indicate areas needing significant improvement. This school may be best suited for families who prioritize a low student-teacher ratio and are prepared to support their child's learning, particularly in math and social studies, to help close the achievement gaps.
