Summary

Raintree Elementary School in Baldwin, LA, is a small PK-5 school within the St. Mary Parish district, serving 254 students in a community with high economic need, as reflected by a 91% free/reduced lunch rate.

Raintree has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from a 1-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating over the past several years. It now significantly outperforms its closest district peers, with 72% of students proficient in both Math and English Language Arts, compared to just 53% and 52% at W.P. Foster Elementary School and 46% and 47% at LaGrange Elementary School. The school is particularly effective with all student groups, ranking in the top 25% of the state for both low-income students and special education students. A key factor is its very low student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which is much smaller than nearby schools like North Lewis Elementary School (13.3:1) and Loreauville Elementary School (15.8:1), allowing for more individualized attention.

Despite these strengths, Raintree faces a persistent challenge with chronic absenteeism at 21.9%, which is nearly double the rate of higher-performing schools in the neighboring Iberia Parish district. This creates a paradox: even with many students missing school, those who attend regularly achieve strong results, suggesting that addressing attendance could lead to even greater success. Social studies is a clear area for growth, with proficiency (44%) lagging behind the district and state averages, making it a prime target for future improvement.
