Summary

A.C. Steere Elementary School in Shreveport, LA, is a mid-sized school serving 443 students in grades PK through 5, and it stands out as a high-performing, non-magnet neighborhood school in the Caddo Parish district.

This school is a true bright spot, achieving exceptional academic results that far exceed what you might expect given its moderate poverty level. In the 2025-2026 school year, 83% of students were proficient in Math and 79% in English Language Arts. This performance is dramatically higher than nearby traditional schools like Caddo Heights Math/Science Elementary School and Creswell Elementary School, which struggle with proficiency rates in the 20-30% range. A.C. Steere also outperforms schools with similar demographics, such as Shreve Island Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School. While it cannot match the near-perfect scores of elite magnet schools like South Highlands Elementary Magnet School or Eden Gardens Fundamental Elementary School, it offers a high-quality, 4-star education for families who want a strong neighborhood school without the selectivity of a magnet program.

What truly sets A.C. Steere apart is its remarkable effectiveness for specific student groups. It ranks in the 96th percentile statewide for Hispanic students and in the 85th percentile for special education students, showing that its support systems work exceptionally well. The school also has a strong attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 12.8%—far below the state average of 22.5% and the district average of 31.0%. After years of steady performance, the school has made a significant leap in recent years, jumping from the 62nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 78th percentile in 2025-2026. For parents seeking a well-rounded, inclusive, and highly effective public school, A.C. Steere is an excellent choice.
