Summary

Northeast Elementary School in Pride, LA, is a small, rural school serving 178 students in grades PK through 6, and it has recently achieved a remarkable academic turnaround that sets it apart from nearby schools. After years of lower performance, the school jumped from the 27th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026, earning its best rating in nearly a decade. This explosive growth is not seen in comparable schools like Clinton Elementary School, which has a similar size and student demographics but is declining in performance. Northeast's success is especially notable in English Language Arts (ELA), where 71% of students are proficient—above the state average of 70% and the East Baton Rouge Parish district average of 64%.

However, the school faces significant challenges that parents should know. There is a stark "two-speed" academic profile: while ELA scores are strong, only 35% of students are proficient in Social Studies, compared to 55% statewide. This 36-percentage-point gap is the largest among nearby schools. Additionally, 4th graders are struggling, with just 29% proficient in Math and only 12% in Social Studies, far below district and state averages. The school's small size allows for a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, which is a major advantage for personalized attention, but this benefit is undermined by a chronic absenteeism rate of 37.6%—the highest in the comparison group and nearly double the state average of 22.5%. This absenteeism crisis is a critical threat to sustaining the recent academic gains.

Despite these hurdles, Northeast's turnaround is driven by specific strategies that appear to be working well for female students, who jumped from the 25th to the 67th percentile in one year. The school's improvement is not simply due to its demographics or size, as shown by the diverging paths of similar schools like Clinton Elementary. For parents, this means Northeast offers a promising but uneven educational experience: strong ELA instruction and a supportive small-school environment, but with urgent needs in Social Studies, 4th-grade instruction, and attendance. Addressing the absenteeism issue will be key to ensuring the school's upward trajectory continues.

Open Quote Northeast Elementary is a terrible school. The communication at this is school is absolutely little if any. They only have a handful of teachers whom actually care about the students. The assistant principal Mrs.Fernandez-Mellion tells you what you want to hear and rarely ever gives you correct information and you would be lucky to get a hold of the principal Mrs.Shows. They do offer academic help for those struggling academically but its an act of congress to get the process started and continued you have to stay on top of the school about it are you are forgotten about regardless of your child's education being in jeopardy. There is a lot of bullying going on that is overlooked. They are definitely not a no tolerance policy kind of school. I now know why I was warned and why several of my friends have moved from this school district and needless to say their children are now excelling in school. I am now in the process of finding a new home so my children get the education they deserve! Close Quote
