Summary

Fairfield Magnet School in Shreveport, LA, is a public elementary magnet school serving 512 students in grades PK-5 within the Caddo Parish school district, and it stands out as a top-tier institution in a district ranked in the bottom quarter of the state.

Fairfield consistently ranks among the top 10 elementary schools in Louisiana, earning a 5-star rating every year for the past decade. Its academic performance is exceptional, with 99% of students proficient in both Math and English Language Arts—far exceeding district averages of 51% and 60%, respectively. The school also boasts an incredibly low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.1%, compared to the district's 31% and the state's 22.5%. This low absenteeism, combined with a healthy student-teacher ratio of 14:1, creates a positive cycle where high attendance fuels high achievement. Fairfield serves a relatively low-poverty student body, with only about 18-20% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, which contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Atkins Technology Elementary (92% poverty) and Caddo Heights Math/Science Elementary (89% poverty).

What makes Fairfield particularly impressive is its ability to serve all student subgroups exceptionally well, ranking in the 98th-99th percentile statewide for Female, Male, African American, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. This shows the school's success is systemic, not limited to one demographic. Fairfield is part of a unique cluster of elite schools within a 1.5-mile radius, including South Highlands Elementary Magnet School (99% Math and ELA, 1.2% absenteeism) and Eden Gardens Fundamental Elementary School (ranked 4th in the state, 17% poverty). While Fairfield and South Highlands are nearly tied in test scores, Fairfield has a slightly higher poverty rate (18.55% vs. 11.71%) and absenteeism (2.1% vs. 1.2%), highlighting a friendly competition for the top spot. In contrast, schools like Creswell Elementary and Broadmoor STEM Academy rank in the bottom 5% of Louisiana elementary schools, underscoring Fairfield's status as an island of excellence in a struggling district.

Based on my 25+ years of teaching experience in several Caddo Parish Elementary Schools, in addition to have attended various public elementary schools as a child, I can sincerely say that Fairfield is unique is the best of ways.
Fairfield is a small sized school, 3 classes in each grade K-5 with a large variety of enrichment classes and a newly built library that serves as a vital integration of each classroom. We are always open for visitors to come and see the best kept secret in Caddo Parish. Come and see! Close Quote
