Summary

Sharon Hills Elementary School is a small, PK-5 public school in Baton Rouge, LA, serving 213 students within the East Baton Rouge Parish district, where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past decade, with a sharp decline in 2025-2026 that saw math proficiency drop from 48% to 31% and English Language Arts from 52% to 36%.

Chronic absenteeism is a crisis-level issue at Sharon Hills, with 43.2% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025—nearly double the state average and far higher than nearby schools like Forest Heights Academy of Excellence (5.6%) and Brownfields Elementary (22.5%). This attendance problem is the single biggest differentiator from high-performing peers; for example, Forest Heights, just 1.48 miles away, achieves a 95th percentile rank with similar demographics but a 7.7 times lower absenteeism rate. The school also struggles to serve male and low-income students, ranking in the 1st and 2nd percentiles for these groups in 2025-2026.

There is a glimmer of hope in 4th grade ELA, where 52% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, suggesting a potential strength in that grade’s instructional team. However, overall volatility is a major concern—after a promising jump to the 19th percentile in 2024-2025, all metrics crashed back to the bottom 3% the following year. For parents, the key takeaway is that while small class sizes offer potential, addressing the attendance crisis is the most critical lever for improvement, as demonstrated by the stark contrast with nearby Forest Heights Academy of Excellence.
