Gramercy Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Gramercy Elementary School in Gramercy, LA, serves 403 students in grades 4 through 6 and is part of the St. James Parish school district, which holds a 3-star rating. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 and a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 60.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most notable strength of Gramercy Elementary is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.1%, which is dramatically lower than the state average of 22.5% and far better than nearby schools like Thibodaux Middle School (29.0%) and East St. John Preparatory Academy (19.1%). This success is even more impressive considering the school has shown a remarkable recovery from pandemic-era disruptions, with chronic absenteeism dropping from a high of 24.2% in 2020-2021 to consistently low levels since. Academically, the school performs near state averages, with particular strength in English Language Arts (69% proficiency) where it has consistently matched or exceeded the district average over the past four years. In fact, Gramercy's ELA performance in the 2025-2026 school year was higher than Gonzales Middle School (68%) and competitive with Central Middle School (73%), despite those schools being in the higher-ranked Ascension Parish district.

However, parents should be aware of a notable "5th grade slump" at the school. While 4th graders exceed state averages in both Math (69% vs. 67%) and ELA (73% vs. 72%), there is a sharp drop in 5th grade across all subjects, with proficiency falling below state averages in Math (49% vs. 61%), ELA (67% vs. 73%), and Social Studies (44% vs. 55%). Performance recovers somewhat in 6th grade but still trails the state. This pattern suggests a critical transition point that the school may need to address with targeted support. Compared to its same-district peer, Sixth Ward Elementary School, Gramercy has a lower rate of economic disadvantage and stronger Social Studies scores (51% vs. 42%), while Sixth Ward outperforms in Math (60% vs. 57%) and 4th-grade ELA (79% vs. 73%).
