Louisiana Department of Education Announces Statewide LEAP Scores

The Louisiana Department of Education released results on Wednesday that about 81 percent of public school students in St. Tammany Parish accomplished test result scores equaling or greater than their grade level on St. Tammany Parish school’s standardized tests in 2013.  This announcement records a one point gain over scores from last year’s testing.  Statewide, for exams which cover the subjects of English / Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies – LEAP & iLEAP exams, St. Tammany Parish public schools scored 8th highest overall in the state of Louisiana.  St. Tammany Parish’s school system is an extremely large system of schools with 38,000, so these scores are reflective of a major academic success all across the Northshore.

There are 5 categories of scoring for the tests – advance, mastery, basic, approaching basic, and unsatisfactory.  According to the graphic below, St. Tammany Parish has, for years, scored well above the state average when it comes to the scoring of “basic” on these tests.  In order to move onto the next grade level, students have to score at least basic.  Because of their phenomenal score results, the percentage of students who will have to attend summer school has been cut by 10% this year, which is exciting news for the St. Tammany Parish school system.

“As long as I see that trend line is continuing to move upward, we’re doing the right thing,” says Assistant Superintendent Cheryl Arabie.
