Summary

Amite Elementary Magnet School serves approximately 400 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in Amite, Louisiana, as part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district, where nearly 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Louisiana elementary schools, recent data shows a slight improvement to the 21st percentile, indicating a slow but positive trajectory. A standout strength is mathematics, where 57% of students are proficient—outpacing the district average of 49% and the school's own English Language Arts (ELA) score of 51%, a trend that has held steady for three years. However, social studies is a significant weakness, with only 33% of students proficient, well below the district (44%) and state (55%) averages.

Chronic absenteeism is a critical challenge, with 36.7% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year—far above the state average of 22.5% and the second-highest rate among nearby schools, trailing only Midway Elementary School (39.6%). This issue is a major barrier to academic achievement, and addressing it could be the most impactful strategy for improvement. In contrast, Roseland Montessori, just 3 miles away, has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 23.7% and outperforms Amite Elementary in every subject, including math (59% vs. 57%), ELA (62% vs. 51%), and social studies (48% vs. 33%).

On a positive note, the student-teacher ratio has dropped to 12.3:1, one of the lowest among nearby schools and a significant improvement from 17.6:1 the prior year, suggesting investment in smaller class sizes. However, the school's magnet designation has not yet translated into higher test scores compared to non-magnet peers like Spring Creek Elementary School (64th percentile). Subgroup performance reveals volatility: special education students dropped from the 84th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 40th percentile in 2025-2026, while low socioeconomic status students have consistently ranked in the bottom 30%, indicating the school struggles to close the achievement gap for its core demographic.
