Summary

Ossun Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, serving 518 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with particularly strong results in 4th grade ELA.

Ossun Elementary's academic performance is a standout, with 74% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 76% in ELA, compared to 69% and 74% for Lafayette Parish, and 60% and 70% for the state of Louisiana, respectively. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank among the top in the state.

While Ossun Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, it lags behind the exceptional performance of Myrtle Place Elementary and L. Leo Judice Elementary, which are among the top-ranked schools in Louisiana. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.9% to 28.9%, is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address. Despite these challenges, Ossun Elementary's ability to maintain strong academic outcomes is a testament to the quality of education and support provided to its students, many of whom come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
