Summary

Olla-Standard Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Olla, LA, serving 398 students within the highly-ranked LaSalle Parish school district, which ranks 8th out of 116 districts in Louisiana.

Olla-Standard has earned a 3-star rating from the state for three consecutive years, and it shows a remarkable ability to support students from low-income backgrounds. Nearly 60% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch—a dramatic increase from just 25% two years ago—yet the school’s performance with these students ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, earning a 4-star rating. This is a standout strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Columbia Elementary School in the Caldwell Parish district, where math proficiency is significantly lower (45% vs. Olla-Standard’s 75%). The school has also made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from nearly 30% to 18.9%—now below both the district and state averages.

However, there are clear areas for growth. While Olla-Standard excels in math, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 73% lags behind the district’s 83% and is notably lower than Fellowship Elementary School’s 88% ELA rate. The school also faces a significant gender performance gap, with male students outperforming female students by a wide margin. Additionally, the school’s White student subgroup has underperformed relative to the school’s overall results, an unusual pattern worth investigating. With a strong foundation and a top-tier district, Olla-Standard is well-positioned to address these challenges and build on its successes.
