Summary

Glen Oaks Park Elementary School in Baton Rouge, LA, serves 415 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, where the vast majority of families (over 92%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community.

This school has seen a dramatic shift in performance. After reaching a high point in the 2023-2024 school year with a 3-star rating, it dropped to a 1-star rating in the most recent data, landing in the 18th percentile statewide. This is a sharp contrast to its own history of stable, mid-to-low rankings. However, it's important to note that Glen Oaks Park still outperforms several nearby schools, such as Winbourne Elementary School and Sharon Hills Elementary School, which consistently rank in the bottom 6% of the state. A particularly interesting comparison is with Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, a 5-star school just 0.9 miles away, which highlights how different outcomes can be even in nearby neighborhoods.

On a positive note, Glen Oaks Park shows a clear pattern of academic growth as students move from 3rd to 5th grade, especially in English Language Arts (ELA), where 5th-grade proficiency reaches 66%. This suggests the school is effective at helping students improve over time. Additionally, chronic absenteeism (19.8%) is much lower than at neighboring schools like Inspire Charter Academy (48.6%) and Claiborne Elementary School (42.2%). The main challenge is understanding and reversing the recent sudden decline in math and social studies scores, which will be key to the school's future success.
