Summary

Sharon Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 245 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.

Despite its small size, Sharon Hills Elementary School has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools for the past decade. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.9% to 46.9% in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Inspire Charter Academy and Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, Sharon Hills Elementary School lags behind in academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be systemic within the district.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Sharon Hills Elementary School, with 86.12% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated over the years, which may impact its ability to provide individualized attention and support to students. Addressing these underlying factors, such as resource allocation and staffing, could be crucial in improving the school's academic outcomes and providing a high-quality education for its students.
