Summary

Westminster Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages. The school has ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools for the past decade, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time. While female students and African American students have performed better than the overall student population, students from low-income backgrounds have struggled, ranking in the bottom 40-60% of Louisiana elementary schools. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 33.4% over the past few years.

Comparisons to nearby schools highlight the challenges at Westminster Elementary. Magnolia Woods Elementary has performed similarly, while Westdale Heights Academic Magnet School, a public magnet school in the same district, has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state. Parkview Elementary has also outperformed Westminster Elementary, ranking in the top 30% of Louisiana elementary schools. These comparisons suggest that the challenges at Westminster Elementary are primarily related to the socioeconomic status of its student population, as evidenced by the high free and reduced lunch rates.
