Summary

Platt Elementary School in Haughton, LA, serves 459 students in grades 2 and 3 within the Bossier Parish school district, and is part of a unique feeder pattern that creates a high-achieving corridor for students.

Platt’s standout strength is its exceptional mathematics performance, with 75% of students proficient in math—13 points higher than both the district and state averages. This consistency has earned the school a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in seven of the last ten years, ranking it in the top 35% of Louisiana elementary schools. Unlike nearby schools like Bellaire Elementary School, which has seen volatile state rankings, Platt has remained stable in the 73rd to 85th percentile over the past decade. The school also excels in serving its African American student population, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for this subgroup. However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency has declined to 74%, below the district average of 76%, and chronic absenteeism has risen to 21.5%, which may be a contributing factor. Support for English Language Learners has also dropped dramatically, from the 81st percentile to the 15th percentile in recent years.

Platt is part of a powerful educational pipeline with T.L. Rodes Elementary School (PK-1) and Princeton Elementary School (4-5), both of which share similar high math proficiency rates. While Platt is a strong school, a comparison to Stockwell Place Elementary School (ranked 23rd in the state) shows the difference between good and elite performance, as Stockwell Place outperforms Platt in every subject. Still, Platt’s lower rate of low-income students (52.7%) compared to some peers and its consistent track record make it a reliable choice for families seeking a stable, high-performing elementary school in the Haughton area.
