Original Research by School Decision on Broadmoor Elementary School
Broadmoor Elementary School, a regular public school in Baton Rouge serving prekindergarten through fifth grade, sits within the East Baton Rouge Parish school system. The school is located on Goodwood Boulevard, in a part of the city that blends mid-century residential neighborhoods with commercial corridors. Baton Rouge itself is Louisiana’s state capital, a consolidated city-parish anchored by Louisiana State University, state government, and a large petrochemical and industrial base along the Mississippi River. The city is car-dependent, with walkable pockets near downtown and the LSU campus, and its public transit coverage is limited relative to the parish’s sprawl. No recent district-level changes with lasting parent impact were identified in publicly available reporting.
Broadmoor’s academic performance, based on Louisiana’s LEAP 2025 assessments for the 2024-25 school year, shows proficiency rates that are modest. In math, about a quarter of tested students scored at the highest two achievement levels; in English language arts, slightly fewer. Science and social studies proficiency rates are lower. The school’s overall proficiency index across tested subjects and grades, which averages these rates, places it below the midpoint relative to other schools within their own districts in East Baton Rouge Parish. Because this is the only year of data available, no trend can be described. The school participated fully in testing, with all enrolled students taking the assessments.
The student body of roughly elementary-school size is diverse. The largest group of students is Black, followed by Hispanic and White students, with smaller shares of Asian students and students of two or more races. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, a common marker of economic need. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not reported, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those supports.
Broadmoor is a regular, non-charter public school; its magnet or Title I status was not provided in the available data. The school operates within a parish district that serves the entire Baton Rouge area, and the housing market in the school’s zip code reflects somewhat lower home values relative to national medians, with rents that have been rising. The broader Baton Rouge economy is shaped by state government employment, the university, and industrial operations, though the local unemployment rate has been near the national average.
No discipline data, staffing ratios, or course access information were available for this school. Because it serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. A parent evaluating Broadmoor will find a school where academic proficiency is below the typical range for its parish, and where the student population is economically diverse. The school’s setting is a mid-sized city with distinct neighborhoods and strong civic and university anchors, but also with the transportation realities of a sprawling southern capital. Families may want to visit, talk to staff about academic interventions and enrichment, and learn more about supports for students who are behind grade level—particularly given the lower results in science and social studies. Without additional data on staffing or programs, the fit will depend on how well the school’s current offerings match a child’s needs and a family’s expectations.
