West Baton Parish Students' Test Scores Improve
• Student test scores improved at every school in West Baton Rouge in 2023! Growth across all schools averaged a 4 point overall gain, which is significant.
• Student test scores also improved in grade level content, which shows that WBR teachers are teaching the content students need, and students are comprehending that content.
• Student scores were the highest in English Language Arts. Because this score is based on reading comprehension and literary analysis, along with writing and grammar, advances in this score will result in gains in other subjects.
• We continue to work toward making the West Baton Rouge School System an “A” school system in the state. The scores show WBR schools are moving in the right direction. The strong programs established to enhance growth, such as Professional Learning Communities, WIN Time, and the Leadership teams, are getting results.
