Original Research by School Decision on Choudrant Elementary School
Choudrant Elementary School serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in a regular public school setting. It is part of Lincoln Parish and sits within the village of Choudrant, a small, growing community in north-central Louisiana where civic life revolves around the Village Hall and a local volunteer fire department, and where Origin Bank, founded in town, is a prominent employer. The school’s academic performance, as measured by Louisiana’s LEAP 2025 assessments, shows a mixed picture. In English language arts, a solid majority of tested students scored at proficient levels. In social studies, a comparable majority also reached that benchmark. In science, about half did. In math, the result was lower: the school reported a proficiency range that places it in a weaker position compared to its own ELA performance. A parent looking at these results may want to ask the school how math instruction is structured and what support is available for students who need it.
The school’s overall proficiency index, calculated as the average of all tested subjects, sits in the top quartile relative to districts in Lincoln Parish. That comparison is based on a small cohort, and the data covers only the 2024-25 school year, so there is no trend line yet. Participation on test day was very high, which strengthens the reliability of the results.
The student body is predominantly white, with modest representation from Hispanic and Black students, and very small numbers from other groups. About a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic diversity. No data was available for students with individualized education programs or English learners, so it is unclear what share of the population receives special education or language support services. A parent with a child in either category should confirm directly with the school what programs are in place.
Housing in the area is above the state average in value, though still below the national benchmark. The village has seen population growth over recent years, and the mayor has publicly described the community as expanding. That growth context may mean more families are moving in, which could affect class sizes and school resources over time. The local economy is anchored by banking and health care, but Choudrant itself has a limited commercial base beyond home-grown businesses.
The district brief found little of lasting impact in terms of recent changes or initiatives from Lincoln Parish that would directly affect parents at this school. No disciplinary data, staffing ratios, or chronic absenteeism figures were available in the records provided.
Choudrant Elementary is a school that performs well in reading and social studies, shows average science outcomes, and has a relative weakness in math. The community is small and growing, with a housing market above the state norm. Families considering this school should weigh the academic pattern alongside the absence of certain data points, particularly around special education and English learner support, and should reach out to the school for those specifics before enrolling.
