Summary

Sorrento Primary School is a PK-5 elementary school in Sorrento, LA, serving 638 students within the highly-rated Ascension Parish School District.

This school has shown impressive and consistent improvement over the past decade, climbing from a 3-star rating to a steady 4-star rating and outperforming both district and state averages in Math and English Language Arts. A key driver of this success appears to be a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from nearly 20% to just 9.9%—now significantly lower than both the district and state averages. The school is particularly effective at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds and those in special education, with both groups ranking in the 94th percentile statewide. Compared to nearby schools, Sorrento Primary is a top-tier performer, ranking higher than Duplessis Primary, Central Primary, Gonzales Primary, and G. W. Carver Primary. Its closest competitor, St. Amant Primary, has a slightly higher overall rank, but Sorrento matches or exceeds it in several key academic areas.

While the school excels in most areas, Social Studies proficiency is a relative weakness, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades, where scores trail the district average. Additionally, the school’s small population of military-connected students has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile statewide, suggesting a need for more targeted support. Overall, Sorrento Primary is a strong, consistently improving school that adds significant academic value for its students, making it a highly competitive and attractive option within the district.
