Summary

Summer Grove Elementary School in Shreveport, LA, serves 403 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Caddo Parish school district, where about 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Summer Grove has faced significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana elementary schools for the past decade. A major concern is a sharp drop in performance between 4th and 5th grade. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency is a respectable 45%, but 5th-grade math falls to just 30%. The most dramatic decline is in social studies, where 4th-grade proficiency is 44% but plummets to only 14% in 5th grade—the lowest score among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is also a persistent issue, with nearly 29% of students missing too many days, a rate higher than at nearby Forest Hill Elementary School (23.4%) and Keithville Elementary/Middle School (23.8%).

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school’s 4th-grade math scores are a relative bright spot, and the student-teacher ratio has improved dramatically to 12.9 students per teacher, which is lower than many area schools. However, this resource has not yet translated into better results, suggesting the need for a stronger focus on instruction and attendance. Notably, Forest Hill Elementary, just over a mile away, serves a similar population but achieves much higher test scores and has lower absenteeism, showing that improvement is possible.
