Summary:
Zip code 70087 in Saint Rose, Louisiana, is home to two public schools—St. Rose Elementary School (grades PK-5, 540 students) and Albert Cammon Middle School (grades 6-8, 282 students)—both part of the highly-rated St. Charles Parish school district, which ranks in the top 11% of Louisiana districts.
St. Rose Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the area, with a state ranking that has climbed to the 72nd percentile (4 stars) and strong LEAP scores: 84% proficient in Math and 78% in ELA. In comparison, Albert Cammon Middle School shows a typical "middle school dip," with lower Math proficiency (73%) but still strong ELA scores (76%). Both schools benefit from exceptionally low student-teacher ratios (8.7:1 at the elementary, 7.9:1 at the middle school) and remarkably low chronic absenteeism rates (4.0% and 6.5%, respectively), which are far better than the state average of 22.5%. Social Studies is a relative weakness across both schools, with proficiency rates (59% at elementary, 62% at middle) below district averages but above state averages.
A key highlight is Albert Cammon Middle School's exceptional performance in advanced math: 100% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the district (89%) and state (65%) averages. The two schools are located on the same street ("Pirate Drive"), creating a cohesive PK-8 pipeline that likely supports curriculum alignment and smooth transitions. Despite serving a population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 67% free/reduced lunch), both schools achieve above-average test scores, with low absenteeism appearing to be a critical factor in their success.
