Summary

Spring Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 302 students in grades PK-5 in Kentwood, Louisiana. The school is part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district, which is ranked 87 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the Tangipahoa Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP assessments in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 73% of Spring Creek students were proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 47% for the district and 60% for the state. The school also has strong performance across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for both male students and white students in Mathematics in 2024-2025. While Spring Creek has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 37.7% in 2023-2024, this rate is still lower than the district average of 24.6%.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Tangipahoa Parish district, Loranger Elementary and Independence Leadership Academy have lower proficiency rates and lower SchoolDigger rankings than Spring Creek Elementary. However, the school's location in a district with a low overall ranking and rating suggests that it may face resource and funding challenges compared to higher-performing districts.
