Summary

Dutchtown Primary School is an exemplary elementary school in Geismar, Louisiana, serving 602 students in grades PK-5 and part of the highly-ranked Ascension Parish school district. This school consistently outperforms state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 82% and 89% proficiency rates respectively in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 77% and 83% for Ascension Parish, and 60% and 70% for the state.

Dutchtown Primary School's strong performance extends across diverse student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, as well as Military Connected students. While the school has seen a recent increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 24.6% in 2023-2024, this rate remains lower than the state average and comparable to nearby schools in the Ascension Parish district. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.4 to 18.7 students per teacher in recent years.

Dutchtown Primary School's consistent high performance, as evidenced by its statewide rankings and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger, suggests that the school is providing a high-quality education and effectively meeting the academic needs of its diverse student population. While some nearby schools, such as Oak Grove Primary, Bullion Primary, and Bluff Ridge Primary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, Dutchtown Primary School's consistent excellence sets it apart as a top-performing elementary school in the region.

Dutchtown Primary is an Excellent Primary School. I have two kids there and every single teacher we have had the past three years have been exceptional. All the way from kindergarten to third grade so far I haven't been able to find a parent or kid that is not happy at that school. Close Quote
