Summary

John James Audubon School is a PK-8 school in Kenner, LA, serving 572 students within the Jefferson Parish school district, where the majority of students come from low-income households.

The school’s standout strength is its middle school program, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). In 6th and 7th grades, 78% of students are proficient in ELA, outperforming the district and state averages and nearby schools like Tom Benson School (53% and 51%) and Bissonet Plaza School (58% and 59%). The school also excels in high school-level courses, with 8th graders achieving 100% proficiency in English I and Algebra I for three consecutive years—a remarkable feat compared to district averages. However, math performance is inconsistent: 7th grade math is a bright spot (70% proficient), but 5th and 8th grade math scores are low (31% and 36%), the weakest among nearby schools. The school’s overall state ranking has fluctuated between the 21st and 46th percentiles over the past decade, currently sitting at the 30th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is a managed issue at Audubon, with a rate of 17.2%—better than the district (21.5%) and state (22.5%) averages, and far lower than Tom Benson School (28.2%). Yet, the school faces challenges in serving its largest demographic: effectiveness with low-income students dropped sharply from the 46th to the 28th percentile in the most recent year. Interestingly, nearby A.C. Alexander School, just 0.72 miles away with a similar student population, outperforms Audubon in nearly every elementary grade subject, suggesting Audubon’s strength lies in its middle school years rather than early grades.

This school has a long way to go before it should be considered as a potential educational institution for your children. This was my children's first and last year attending. Close Quote
