Summary

Villa del Rey Elementary School in Baton Rouge, LA, serves 387 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which ranks 77th out of 116 districts in Louisiana.

Villa del Rey has received a 1-star rating for several years, and its academic performance is notably lower than many nearby schools. The most significant concern is in English Language Arts (ELA), where only 42% of students are proficient, compared to the district average of 64% and the state average of 70%. This is dramatically lower than nearby schools like Greenbrier Elementary (72%) and GEO Prep Academy of Greater Baton Rouge (76%). Social Studies is also a challenge, with only 23% of students proficient—the lowest rate among all nearby peers. However, there is a bright spot in 5th grade ELA, where 60% of students are proficient, suggesting a potential strength in upper-grade instruction. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 24.0% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average of 22.5% and much higher than high-performing nearby schools like GEO Prep Academy (8.6%) and Twin Oaks Elementary (17.9%).

What makes this data particularly important for parents is that nearby schools with similar student demographics—such as Twin Oaks Elementary and GEO Prep Academy—achieve far better results. For example, Twin Oaks ranks in the 48th percentile (2 stars) and GEO Prep Academy ranks in the 58th percentile (3 stars), while Villa del Rey ranks in the 14th percentile. This shows that the challenges facing Villa del Rey are not insurmountable, and the school has a significant opportunity to improve by learning from the successful practices of its neighbors. If you are considering Villa del Rey, it is worth exploring these nearby options and asking the school about its plans to address early-grade literacy and attendance issues.
