Summary

South Crowley Elementary School in Crowley, LA, serves 320 students in grades 1 through 5 and is part of the Acadia Parish school district, which ranks in the top 75th percentile statewide. However, the school itself faces significant challenges, with a state ranking that has dropped dramatically from the 77th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 7th percentile in 2025-2026. Academic proficiency rates are critically low across all subjects—34% in Math, 45% in English Language Arts, and 26% in Social Studies—far below district and state averages. This performance is the lowest among comparable elementary schools in the district, especially when compared to nearby Egan Elementary School, which achieves 91% proficiency in Math and 89% in ELA, or Estherwood Elementary School at 84% and 83%, respectively.

A major concern is the school's chronic absenteeism crisis, which has risen to 40.8% in 2024-2025—more than double the state average of 22.5% and the highest among nearby schools. For context, Egan Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.5%, and Estherwood Elementary is at 15.8%. Even other struggling schools in Crowley, like Ross Elementary (32.9%) and North Crowley Elementary (36.4%), have lower rates. This absenteeism appears closely linked to the school's academic decline, as Math proficiency dropped from 50% in 2023-2024 to 34% in 2025-2026, and the state ranking fell from the 24th percentile to the 7th over the same period.

An interesting pattern emerges in test scores by grade level: in 3rd grade, students perform relatively close to district averages (e.g., 52% in Math vs. 64% district), but by 5th grade, performance plummets (13% in Math vs. 68% district). This "5th grade cliff" suggests the school is not building on foundational skills, leading to a widening learning gap. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it struggles to serve all student groups effectively, ranking in the bottom 10% for most subgroups. Addressing chronic absenteeism is likely the most critical step for improving outcomes at South Crowley Elementary.
