Summary

Louisiana Key Academy Baton Rouge is a public charter elementary school serving 433 students in grades K-8 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is located in the East Baton Rouge Parish school district. Despite being a charter school, the academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school significantly underperforms the state and district averages across nearly all grade levels and subject areas on the LEAP assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13-25% of their students were proficient in math compared to 59-65% statewide, and their English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 21-51% compared to 65-72% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Louisiana elementary schools for African American, White, and low-socioeconomic status students. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20-45% in recent years, and has had dropout rates as high as 4.3%.

When comparing Louisiana Key Academy Baton Rouge to the nearby public and magnet schools in the East Baton Rouge Parish district, the performance gap is stark. For example, Westdale Heights Academic Magnet School, Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts, and B.R. Foreign Language Acad. Immersion Magnet all have significantly higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings compared to Louisiana Key Academy Baton Rouge. Despite being a charter school, Louisiana Key Academy Baton Rouge has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance over the past several years, indicating a need for significant intervention and support.
