Summary

Walker Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 695 students in grades PK-5 in the Livingston Parish school district in Walker, Louisiana. The school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 77th out of 742 Louisiana elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 329th out of 666 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. The school is currently rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

One key challenge for Walker Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 12.0% in 2022-2023 to 24.6% in 2023-2024 - notably higher than the state average and other nearby schools in the Livingston Parish district. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, where only 63% of Walker students were proficient in 2024-2025 compared to 71% in the district and 60% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but African American, White, and English Language Learner students all ranking in the bottom half or quarter of the state.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Livingston Parish district, Walker Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores, subgroup performance, and other key metrics. Addressing the school's challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the specific needs of the school and its student population.
