Summary

Curtis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bossier City, Louisiana, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 487 students. The school is part of the Bossier Parish school district, which is ranked 46 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Curtis Elementary consistently performs above the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades, with a Mathematics proficiency rate of 65% in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 60%. The school's performance is also generally on par with or slightly above the Bossier Parish district average in both subjects, and it has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. However, the school faces challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 20.1% to 28.9% over the past few years, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 36.49% in 2021-2022 to 61.6% in 2023-2024.

Compared to other nearby schools in the Bossier Parish district, such as Waller Elementary and Bellaire Elementary, Curtis Elementary generally performs better academically. However, the nearby Caddo Parish schools, such as Shreve Island Elementary and A.C. Steere Elementary, tend to outperform Curtis Elementary, particularly in Mathematics.
