Best Public Schools in Bossier City, LA

Summary:

The Bossier City, Louisiana school district consists of 21 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is part of the Bossier Parish school system, which is ranked 49 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the Bossier City district, a few schools stand out as high-performing, including Stockwell Place Elementary School, which ranks 42nd out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, and Legacy Elementary School, which ranks 25th out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools and also has a 5-star rating. Additionally, W.T. Lewis Elementary School stands out for its high performance, with 89% of students proficient or better in both mathematics and English language arts.

However, the data also reveals stark contrasts in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district. While schools like Stockwell Place and Legacy excel, others like Rusheon Middle School and Waller Elementary School struggle significantly, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. This disparity suggests a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance, highlighting the need for the district to address equity and access to quality education for all students.
