Werner Park Elementary faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (91.01%) compared to the surrounding area, and it consistently underperforms the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP tests. In 2023-2024, only 23% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in LEAP Mathematics, compared to 51% in Caddo Parish and 59% statewide. Werner Park has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Louisiana elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 658 out of 675 schools in 2023-2024 and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly low for African American students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

In contrast, Fairfield Magnet School and Claiborne Fundamental Elementary School, both within the Caddo Parish district, are among the top-performing elementary schools in the state.
