Summary

Ossun Elementary School in Lafayette, LA, is a mid-sized public school serving 498 students in grades PK-5 within the highly rated Lafayette Parish school district, and it has earned a 4-star rating (70th percentile) for its strong academic performance despite serving a predominantly low socio-economic status population.

Ossun Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance in Social Studies, where 67% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, significantly outpacing the district (60%) and state (55%) averages, and far exceeding nearby schools like S.J. Montgomery Elementary School (29%) and Alice N. Boucher Elementary School (34%). The school is also remarkably effective at supporting its Hispanic students, who ranked in the 89th percentile statewide, and its low socio-economic status students, who ranked in the 78th percentile—a clear sign the school is closing opportunity gaps. While it cannot match the elite scores of the nearby 5-star L. Leo Judice Elementary School (which has a much lower poverty rate), Ossun’s strong results with a high-needs population make it a standout in its context.

This school is a remarkable turnaround story, climbing from a 2-star rating a decade ago to its current 4-star status, but it faces a critical challenge: chronic absenteeism. At 28.6%, this rate is significantly worse than the district (24.0%) and state (22.5%) averages, and it has more than doubled since 2021-2022. Addressing this issue is key to the school’s continued success. Additionally, while the school excels in Math and Social Studies, its English Language Arts proficiency (72%) is only slightly above the state average, and performance for Special Education students dropped sharply from 4 stars to 2 stars in the latest year, warranting attention.
