Summary

Claiborne School is an exceptional elementary school located in West Monroe, Louisiana, serving 749 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Ouachita Parish School District, which is ranked 40 out of 118 districts in the state, Claiborne School has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Louisiana, ranking in the top 5% for several years.

Claiborne School's academic performance is truly impressive, with 80% of its students proficient or better in Mathematics and 86% proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly outpacing the Ouachita Parish and Louisiana state averages. This high level of achievement extends across various student subgroups, with Claiborne ranking in the top 20% or higher among Louisiana elementary schools for female, male, African American, Hispanic, white, special education, and economically disadvantaged students.

While Claiborne School's performance is truly exceptional, the school does face some challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 12.4% to 24.6% over the past few years. Additionally, the school has a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds, with 28.02% to 46.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, these factors do not diminish the school's overall excellence, and Claiborne remains a shining example of educational success in the West Monroe region, with nearby schools like Drew Elementary and Boley Elementary also demonstrating strong academic performance.
