The school is part of the Creve Coeur School District 76, which is ranked 757 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
LaSalle Elementary School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, and varying performance across different student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.3% of all grades were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.2% statewide, and only 13.8% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 28.4% statewide. The school's socioeconomic status, with 81.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic challenges. When compared to nearby schools, such as Glendale Elementary School, LaSalle Elementary School is underperforming academically.
Despite the school's academic challenges, LaSalle Elementary School's per-student spending has increased over the years, from $10,502 in 2019-2020 to $15,169 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 12.7 students per teacher in recent years. However, these factors have not yet resulted in meaningful improvements in student outcomes, suggesting that addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as attendance issues and the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged population, may be crucial for driving academic progress.
