Summary

Haughton Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Haughton, LA, serving 618 students within the Bossier Parish school district, and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for four consecutive years.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Social Studies, where 73% of students were proficient—a full 18 points above the state average and 11 points higher than the district average. This strength is consistent year after year, and it rivals even the district's top school, Stockwell Place Elementary School, which is a 5-star school in the top 5% of the state. Haughton Elementary also shows strong and consistent academic growth, with its overall state ranking improving for three straight years. This upward trend contrasts with nearby schools like Bellaire Elementary School, which saw a significant drop in its ranking. The school is particularly effective at serving male students and African American students, who rank in the 87th and 82nd percentiles statewide, respectively. Additionally, chronic absenteeism at Haughton (20.6%) is lower than at many nearby schools, including Meadowview Elementary School (28.8%) and Curtis Elementary School (26.3%), suggesting a highly engaged school community.

While the school excels in many areas, there are a couple of points to note. A closer look at math scores reveals a potential "5th grade slump," where 5th graders' proficiency (66%) fell below the district average (67%), while 4th graders achieved an impressive 80%. Also, support for special education students has declined over the past two years, with their ranking dropping below the state median. Overall, Haughton Elementary is part of a high-performing cluster of schools in the eastern part of Bossier Parish, including W.T. Lewis Elementary School and Princeton Elementary School, all of which rank in the top quartile of the state, making this area a true pocket of academic excellence.
