Summary

W.T. Lewis Elementary School in Bossier City, LA, serves 558 students in grades K-5 within the Bossier Parish school district and has recently staged an impressive academic rebound, jumping from the 64th to the 86th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 75th percentile for serving these students—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. Its special education program is a particular strength, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 90th percentile. While nearby Stockwell Place Elementary (just 1.9 miles away) remains a top-5% performer with a similar free/reduced lunch rate, W.T. Lewis is clearly outperforming expectations for its demographic profile. In contrast, Meadowview Elementary (1.5 miles away) struggles with a much higher poverty rate and significantly lower proficiency scores, highlighting how W.T. Lewis has successfully overcome many socioeconomic challenges.

Academically, W.T. Lewis now significantly outperforms both district and state averages in all core subjects, with 87% of students proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 70% statewide) and 75% proficient in math. The school has also made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism from 30.8% to just 13.6%, far better than the district average of 27.9%. This broad-based improvement across nearly all student groups—including African American, White, and female students—suggests effective school-wide strategies. One area to watch is support for Hispanic students, where recent data showed a decline, though the school's overall trajectory remains strongly positive.
