Summary:

The East Baton Rouge Parish school district in Louisiana is home to 47 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. This diverse set of schools exhibits a wide range of academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics that provide a complex picture of elementary education in the area.

At the top of the district, Mayfair Laboratory School, Westdale Heights Academic Magnet School, Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts, and Forest Heights Academy of Excellence stand out as the highest-performing schools, with exceptional test scores and rankings among the best in Louisiana.
