Summary

Krotz Springs Elementary School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Krotz Springs, LA, serving 211 students within the St. Landry Parish district, and it stands out as a top performer in its area with a 3-star rating and strong academic results.

This school truly shines in its middle school grades (6-8), where students achieve remarkable proficiency rates that far exceed state averages. For example, 8th graders posted 100% proficiency in both English and Math, while 7th graders reached 82% in ELA and 81% in Math. This "middle school magic" is a standout feature, as many schools see a dip in performance at these levels. Overall, Krotz Springs outperforms most nearby schools, including Northeast Elementary (58% ELA, 35% Math) and Grand Coteau Elementary (63% ELA, 56% Math), and is comparable to high-achieving peers like Palmetto Elementary and Port Barre Elementary. The school also excels at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for this group, and benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, which fosters personalized attention.

However, a key concern is rising chronic absenteeism, which jumped from 7.2% to 27.1% over recent years, now exceeding the state average. While this is still better than the district average of 31.2%, it poses a risk to sustaining the school's strong academic gains. Additionally, there is a notable gender gap in performance, with female students consistently outperforming male students. Despite these challenges, Krotz Springs remains a community cornerstone, offering a nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, especially in the critical middle school years.
