Lasalle Elementary School

What Lasalle Elementary School does

LaSalle Elementary School is a public elementary school operating at 8000 LaSalle Avenue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as part of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. The school serves students from Pre-K through 5th grade, with a differentiated focus on gifted education delivered through both self-contained PreK-5 classrooms and a K-5 resource program. All teachers are gifted-certified or working toward certification, and the school operates with small class sizes (approximately 13 students in the gifted program, totaling 110 gifted students). A two-year Scholastic Academy program prepares students who have met screening requirements but have not yet completed full gifted evaluation.

The school's core service is standard academic instruction in English language arts, math, science, and social studies, supplemented by specials including PE, Art, Music, Library, Spanish, Guidance, and Computer Lab. Ancillary programs include Talented Theater, Talented Music, before/after school care (delivered through a YMCA partnership), and the Tiger Grams yearbook fundraiser (personalized yearbook ads priced $10-$50). The school is supported by the Tiger Cubs PTO and a network of community partners including UNUM, United Way, Raising Cane's, VIPS, and Chosen Generation Outreach.

The business model is non-commercial: as a public school, there is no tuition, and the school is funded through district allocations from the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. The school uses standard district technology platforms including Canvas LMS, JCAMPUS for grades and attendance, EBRPAY for payroll, GoSignMeUp for professional development, VAM for state student outcome tracking, and ClassDojo for parent communication. The organization is led by Principal Lontarris Williams with Assistant Principal Amechie Trahan and a faculty and staff of approximately 26 personnel.
