BASIS Baton Rouge Primary Mid City and BASIS Baton Rouge Materra have announced significant academic gains, as reflected in their 2024 School Performance Scores (SPS).
The Louisiana Department of Education School Performance Scores are based on criteria such as year-to-year student academic progress and proficiency on the state assessment for grades 3–8. The scores are an indicator of how well a school prepares its students for the next level of study.
In the recently released scores, BASIS Baton Rouge Primary Mid City experienced a remarkable 19.3-point increase, rising from an SPS of 57.3 to 76.6. This substantial growth propelled the school to a “B” rated campus.
One of the main factors that influenced BASIS Mid City’s dramatic SPS increase was their performance on state assessments. Earlier this year, BASIS Mid City earned the highest year-over-year academic gains of any school in Louisiana on the LEAP test.
“This is a huge accomplishment for the entire Mid City community,” said Marissa Carroll, Head of School at BASIS Mid City. “This rating would not be possible without the hard work of our students, faculty and staff, and the continued support of our families. The future of our school is brighter than ever!”
BASIS Baton Rouge Materra also achieved notable progress, increasing its SPS from 90.8 to 102.3, an 11.5-point gain. This achievement solidified the school’s “A” rating status while setting a new benchmark by surpassing an SPS of 100.
In earning this ranking, BASIS Baton Rouge Materra has cemented itself as the top-performing open-enrollment school in East Baton Rouge. In fact, BASIS Materra is the only “A” rated school in the East Baton Rouge Parish School District that is open to all students.
“We are incredibly proud of this year’s rankings,” says Jared Lamb, Head of School at BASIS Materra. “Our schools’ achievements are a team victory. Thank you to all of our students, faculty, staff, and families who helped us reach a School Performance Score of over 100!”
