Original Research by School Decision on E.b. Williams Stoner Hill Elementary School
E.B. Williams Stoner Hill Elementary School is a closed school in Shreveport, Louisiana. Its official status as recorded in the 2024-25 school year data is "Closed," so no students are currently attending. For a parent or resident researching this school, the most important fact to understand is that it no longer operates as a regular public elementary school.
Because the school is closed, most of the fields that typically offer insight into a school's performance and environment are empty. State testing data from the 2022-23 school year is available, however, giving a picture of the school's academic standing in its final years of operation. On Louisiana's LEAP 2025 assessments, which measure proficiency at Levels 4 and 5, the school's results were very low. In third-grade math, third-grade English language arts, third-grade science, and third-grade social studies, the proportion of students scoring proficient or above fell within a range that placed it below a tenth of students. In fourth-grade math, a similar proportion of students scored at that level. In fifth-grade math, zero students reached proficiency. In fourth-grade English language arts, a small share of students achieved the proficient mark. The overall pattern across grade levels and subjects was one of very few students meeting the state's proficiency bar. A parent looking at these results from 2022-23 would see a school where academic attainment was a significant challenge.
The enrollment and demographic data for the school is missing, which is consistent with its closed status. Without counts of students or data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, race and ethnicity, or special populations, it is not possible to describe the student body the school served as it closed.
Shreveport itself provides the context for this school. It is a mid-sized city that serves as the commercial and cultural center of the Ark-La-Tex region, where the borders of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas meet. The city has seen a steady population decline over the past several decades, reflecting the loss of oil-industry jobs and the closure of a major General Motors plant. Its economy has diversified into healthcare, gaming, logistics, and technology, but the population continues to shrink. Housing in the area is affordable relative to national benchmarks. Much of the city is car-dependent, with a sprawling layout, though historic districts near downtown offer denser, older neighborhoods.
The school's parent district, Caddo Parish Public Schools, had no major recent changes surfaced in publicly available records. For a parent or resident researching this school, the essential takeaway is that the building is no longer serving students as a regular elementary school. The available academic data from its final tested year points to persistent and severe challenges with student proficiency. Anyone considering this school for a child should know it is closed and would need to look elsewhere within the Caddo Parish system for a K-5 option.
