Elm Grove Middle School

Summary:

Elm Grove Middle School is a public middle school in Bossier City, Louisiana, serving 952 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Bossier Parish school district, which is ranked 49 out of 122 districts in the state.

Elm Grove Middle School consistently outperforms the Bossier Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with particularly strong results in ELA. The school's Algebra I performance is also exceptional, with 100% of students proficient in the 2021-2022 school year, compared to 69% for Bossier Parish and 58% for the state. Elm Grove's Hispanic and Female student populations rank among the top 25% of Louisiana middle schools, and its African American students perform better than the state average, ranking in the top 35%. However, the school's White student population lags behind, ranking in the bottom 50% of Louisiana middle schools.

While Elm Grove Middle School outperforms nearby Cope Middle School and Greenacres Middle School in both Mathematics and ELA, it does not match the top-performing schools in the Caddo Parish district, such as Caddo Parish Middle Magnet School and Youree Dr. Middle Advanced Placement Magnet School, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, Elm Grove has seen an increase in economically disadvantaged students and a slight decrease in White students, which may have implications for the school's performance and the needs of its student population.

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.
