Summary

Southeastern LA University Lab School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hammond, Louisiana, with 259 students. Despite being part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district, which is ranked 87 out of 118 districts in the state and has an overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Southeastern LA University Lab School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on LEAP assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

The school maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 6.7% over the past few years, which are significantly lower than the district and state averages. While the school does experience higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state (up to 37.7%), it still outperforms many of the nearby schools in the Tangipahoa Parish district. Notably, D.C. Reeves Elementary, Lucille Nesom Memorial, and Woodland Park Magnet struggle to match the academic proficiency levels of Southeastern LA University Lab School.

Despite having a relatively low percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients (around 22% in 2023-2024), Southeastern LA University Lab School is able to support and elevate the academic performance of its low-income students, ranking them among the top in the state. This exceptional academic performance, particularly for traditionally underserved student populations, makes the school a valuable asset in the local education landscape and a potential model for other schools in the Tangipahoa Parish district and the state of Louisiana to emulate.
