Summary

Park Forest Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 483 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 81 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park Forest Elementary faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 33.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Audubon Elementary (24.6%) and Twin Oaks Elementary (24.6%). The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are also generally lower than the East Baton Rouge Parish and Louisiana state averages.

Additionally, Park Forest Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking higher for African American students compared to Hispanic students and students of low socioeconomic status. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.63% to 79.76% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of nearby schools like Greenbrier Elementary (81.5%). While the school faces these challenges, there are opportunities for improvement, and addressing the root causes of absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions for underperforming subgroups could be important steps in improving the school's overall outcomes.
