Summary

Eden Gardens Fundamental Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Shreveport, LA, serving 495 students within the Caddo Parish school district, and it has earned a #4 state ranking out of 690 schools with a 5-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school is an academic powerhouse, achieving near-perfect proficiency rates: 99% of students are proficient in Math and 94% in Social Studies. This performance dramatically outpaces nearby schools like Atkins Technology Elementary School (40% Math, 32% Social Studies) and Broadmoor STEM Academy (31% Math, 25% Social Studies), which are less than 2.5 miles away. The school also excels with its low-income students, ranking #4 in the state for this subgroup. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 4.0%, a fraction of the district average of 31.0% and far lower than nearby schools like Atkins (49.1%) and Broadmoor (42.9%).

The "Fundamental" model at Eden Gardens emphasizes traditional values, strong parental involvement, and a structured learning environment, which appears to be highly effective. Its only true academic peer in the area is South Highlands Elementary Magnet School (ranked #3), which uses a different Magnet model to achieve similar elite results. While the school is excellent overall, male students ranked #16 in the state in 2025-2026, a slight dip from their #4 ranking the previous year, suggesting an area for the school to monitor.

This is my son's first year at Eden Gardens, and he loves it. The faculty and staff are very helpful and so sweet. I love how they encourage parental involvement. That to me means so much, because it's really the parents that make the school. When you have parents that care, you have kids and teachers that care. That is a big plus for me with Eden Gardens. The parents care about the school and their kids' education which in turn gets the teachers excited about coming to work in the mornings. I couldn't ask for a better school for my child! Close Quote

Consistently one of the top TWO schools in the entire state of Louisiana, Eden Gardens provides an excellent academic background for some of Caddo Parish's most gifted and talented students. The teachers and staff continually strive to bring the newest technology and skills into the classroom while providing a loving atmosphere that feels like a family. It is a true privilege to be a part of Eden Gardens Magnet! Close Quote
