Better than 3% of Louisiana elementary schools

Summary

Pine Grove Elementary School in Shreveport, LA, serves 333 students in grades PK-5 within the Caddo Parish school district, where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past decade.

Pine Grove faces severe challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 48.3% for the 2024-2025 school year—more than double the state average and dramatically higher than nearby schools like Claiborne Fundamental Elementary School (6.5%) and Judson Fundamental Elementary School (9.6%). This absenteeism drives a vicious cycle: students miss class, fall behind academically, and become further disengaged. Academic performance is critically low, with only 39% of students proficient in Math and 33% in English Language Arts, far below district and state averages. In contrast, Claiborne Fundamental, despite a 63% poverty rate, achieves 100% Math and 91% ELA proficiency, suggesting that school culture and structure—not just poverty—are key factors. Pine Grove’s state ranking has steadily declined from the 18th percentile in 2016 to the 3rd percentile in 2026, while nearby schools like North Highlands Elementary School have shown improvement.

Despite these struggles, there is a glimmer of hope: Pine Grove’s 5th-grade Math proficiency rate of 41% is close to the district average of 54% and higher than Bossier Elementary School (39%) and J. S. Clark Elementary School (38%), indicating a potential effective teacher or intervention. Additionally, the school’s student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 is comparable to higher-performing peers, showing that overcrowding is not the core issue. Breaking the cycle of absenteeism must be the top priority for Pine Grove to improve student outcomes.
