Summary

J.C. Ellis School is a public elementary and middle school in Metairie, LA, serving 587 students in grades PK-8 within the Jefferson Parish school district, and it stands out for its exceptional middle school program and strong support for English Language Learners.

The school's most notable strength is its upper elementary and middle school grades (6th-8th), where students dramatically outperform district and state averages. For example, 6th graders achieved 91% proficiency in math and 89% in ELA, compared to state averages of 65% and 74%, respectively. This suggests a highly effective teaching team and curriculum that accelerates learning during these critical years. Additionally, J.C. Ellis excels with its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for this subgroup. The school also offers advanced coursework like Algebra I and English I, with near-perfect proficiency rates (95% and 82%), giving students a strong head start for high school. Chronic absenteeism is lower here (15.5%) than the district (21.5%) and state (22.5%) averages, indicating good student engagement.

Compared to nearby PK-8 options, J.C. Ellis is a solid choice. It significantly outperforms Joseph C. Moscona School (30th percentile) but trails Dr. John Ochsner Discovery Health Sciences Academy (66th percentile), which has lower poverty rates and even lower absenteeism. While the school's early elementary grades (3rd-5th) perform at or slightly below state averages, the middle school years are a clear differentiator. For families seeking a traditional public school that serves a diverse student body (70.7% qualify for free/reduced lunch) and offers a strong PK-8 pathway, J.C. Ellis provides a compelling option, especially for students who can stay through 8th grade.

This is our first year (2009-2010) at J.C. Ellis and are very pleased. Our child is in the Spanish Immersion program and is speaking Spanish very well. She is in kindergarten and reading 1st and 2nd step reader books. She is doing great! The teachers have been awesome. Close Quote
