Summary

Woodland Park Magnet is a PK-3 elementary school in Hammond, LA, serving 458 students within the Tangipahoa Parish school district, where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its "Magnet" designation, Woodland Park Magnet faces significant academic challenges. The school ranks in the 7th percentile statewide, with only 31% of students proficient in Math and Social Studies—roughly half the state average. This performance is more aligned with high-poverty schools like Lucille Nesom Memorial than with other magnet programs. In stark contrast, the Southeastern LA University Lab School, located less than two miles away, ranks in the 93rd percentile with 91% ELA proficiency. Chronic absenteeism is a severe crisis at Woodland Park, with 31.7% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025—more than 14 times the rate at the Lab School (2.3%) and significantly higher than nearby D.C. Reeves Elementary School (24.2%) and Hammond Eastside Magnet (25.6%).

There is a glimmer of hope in English Language Arts, where proficiency has risen from 33% to 45% over the past few years. However, this is offset by a decline in Math proficiency, which dropped from 38% to 31% in the same period. The school reported a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 in 2024-2025, lower than many nearby schools like Tucker Memorial Elementary School (16.1:1), but this improvement has not yet translated into better academic outcomes. Until the foundational issue of chronic absenteeism is addressed, academic gains will likely remain minimal.
