Summary

Luling Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 688 students in grades PK-5 in Luling, Louisiana, which is part of the St. Charles Parish school district. While the district is ranked 11th out of 118 in the state and has a 5-star rating, Luling Elementary has been rated 2-3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating average to below-average performance compared to other Louisiana elementary schools.

Luling Elementary's academic performance lags behind the district and state averages, with lower proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and social studies across most grade levels. However, the school's Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking 21st out of 207 Louisiana elementary schools for math proficiency. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 13.3 in recent years, which is better than nearby schools like John James Audubon School and Allemands Elementary School.

Luling Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in addressing the academic disparities among its student population and the high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 10.2% to 24.6% in recent years, well above the state average. While the school's strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio and the success of its Hispanic students, suggest opportunities for improvement, the school will need to focus on targeted interventions and a commitment to equity to address the unique needs and challenges faced by its underperforming student subgroups.

I transferred my kindergartner from another St. Charles Parish school to Luling Elementary half way through the year. The previous school pushed for my child to be medicated (to basically sedate him). After attending Luling he matured, developed and progressed. I am proud to say my son attends Luling Elementary!!!

This school has a terrible ranking, even after implementing social promotion to cover up masses of students who are failing.

Passing students who have straight F's for all four quarters is a travesty that lowers the standards for the entire school and robs children of a quality education. Close Quote
