Summary

Elm Grove Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in the small community of Elm Grove, LA, serving 332 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Bossier Parish school district, where about half of the students are economically disadvantaged.

Elm Grove has shown steady, multi-year academic improvement, climbing from the 50th to the 64th state percentile over recent years and earning a consistent 3-star rating. A standout strength is mathematics, where 71% of students are proficient—outpacing both the district (66%) and state (62%) averages. This is especially notable in 5th grade, where math proficiency reaches 78%, far exceeding nearby schools like Curtis Elementary (63%) and Bellaire Elementary (55%). The school also excels with a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, offering more individualized attention than peers like Haughton Elementary (13.4:1) and Sun City Elementary (13.9:1).

Elm Grove has made a remarkable recovery from post-pandemic challenges, reducing chronic absenteeism from a high of 44.2% in 2021-2022 to 22.0% in 2024-2025—now below the district average (27.9%) and on par with the state. While the school has achieved strong growth for its Hispanic students, earning a 4-star rating, its performance with other groups has been more mixed. For context, nearby Eden Gardens Fundamental Elementary School in Caddo Parish is a 5-star school with near-perfect scores, but serves a much less economically disadvantaged population. A more relevant comparison is A.C. Steere Elementary School, also in Caddo Parish, which achieves higher test scores (83% math, 79% ELA) and a lower chronic absenteeism rate (12.8%), suggesting different community dynamics and strategies at play.
