LaSalle Elementary School

Summary:

LaSalle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 499 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 77 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While LaSalle Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (20.84%) and Asian (5.61%) students, this diversity does not translate into equitable academic outcomes. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates are below the district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic students and English Language Learners. Additionally, LaSalle Elementary has a high percentage of students (66.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Melrose Elementary School, Villa del Rey Elementary School, and Broadmoor Elementary School, also have relatively low rankings and performance, but LaSalle Elementary stands out as one of the lower-performing schools in the area. This indicates a need for a comprehensive approach to address the school's academic challenges, including targeted interventions and support for diverse student populations and addressing socioeconomic barriers to learning.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
