Academically, Northdale students perform significantly below their peers in the East Baton Rouge Parish and the state of Louisiana on standardized tests across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 5% of students proficient or better in mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 51% in the district and 60% statewide.
