Summary

Cohn Elementary School in Port Allen, LA, serves 217 students in grades 3 through 5 within the high-performing West Baton Rouge Parish school district, though the school itself has experienced a concerning decline in academic performance over the past few years.

Despite being part of a district that ranks in the 78th percentile statewide, Cohn Elementary has seen its state ranking drop from the 60th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 31st percentile in the most recent data. Proficiency rates in Math (51%), ELA (57%), and Social Studies (45%) all fall well below the district averages of 72%, 73%, and 68%, respectively. This is particularly puzzling because the school boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 6.9:1—far better than nearby schools like Capitol Elementary School (15.4:1) or Prescott K-8 Academy (16:1). This resource advantage suggests the potential for individualized attention, yet it is not translating into stronger academic outcomes. For comparison, Belfair Montessori School achieves 81% Math proficiency with a ratio of 10.7:1, highlighting that Cohn’s small class sizes are not being fully leveraged.

There is one notable bright spot: Cohn’s 4th-grade students achieved a 68% proficiency rate in ELA in the most recent year, significantly outperforming the school’s 3rd-grade (44%) and 5th-grade (59%) rates. This suggests a specific cohort or instructional strategy is working well and could be replicated across other grades. However, chronic absenteeism (15.3%) is higher than the district average (13.0%) and nearby Port Allen Elementary School (12.9%), adding another layer of challenge. For parents, Cohn Elementary offers small class sizes and a dedicated district, but the school is at a critical juncture where it must reverse its downward trend to fulfill its potential.
