Gramercy Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Gramercy Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Gramercy, Louisiana, with an enrollment of 439 students. The school consistently outperforms the St. James Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Gramercy Elementary is projected to have 55% of students proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 59% for the district and 60% for the state. In English Language Arts, Gramercy is projected to have 70% proficiency compared to 72% for the district and 70% for the state.

While Gramercy Elementary's test scores generally outperform the nearby Sixth Ward Elementary School, which is also in the St. James Parish district, the school's performance is lower when compared to the higher-performing school districts of St. Charles Parish and Ascension Parish. Gramercy Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates, while declining, are still higher than the nearby schools for which data is available, suggesting room for improvement in student attendance.

Gramercy Elementary's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.58% to 52.44% over the past few years, indicates that the school serves a population with greater economic challenges compared to the state and nearby districts. This may be a factor in the school's performance and should be considered when evaluating the school's progress. Despite these challenges, Gramercy Elementary stands out for its favorable student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 14.4 over the past few years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools.
