Summary

Olla-Standard Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Olla, Louisiana, part of the LaSalle Parish school district. With 414 students, the school has consistently outperformed the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels, with 73% proficiency in each subject compared to the state averages of 64% and 70%, respectively.

Olla-Standard Elementary's performance is particularly strong for its male students, who ranked in the top 20% of Olla-Standard Elementary elementary schools in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance for female and white students is more average, ranking in the 50th percentile. The school has also seen high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 28.7% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Positively, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has decreased from 27.3% in 2021-2022 to 21.26% in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively low level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Olla-Standard Elementary generally outperforms the nearby Fellowship Elementary and Goodpine Middle School in both Math and ELA proficiency. However, it lags behind the stronger performance of schools in the neighboring Caldwell Parish district, such as Columbia Elementary and Union Central Elementary. Interestingly, Olla-Standard Elementary has shown a strong performance in serving its homeless student population, ranking in the top 15% of Louisiana elementary schools in this category in recent years.
