II.1.4   University Laboratory School

The University Laboratory School prides itself on the rigorous academic environment that facilitates K-12 student achievement.  The first International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme school in Louisiana, the Laboratory School offers a K-12 model curriculum that stresses creativity, inquiry, service, and internationalism.  It is the only school in Louisiana ranked in the top 2.5% of public schools nation-wide with a ranking of 201. The Lab School enrolls approximately 1,300 students.

Students at University High School are eligible to enroll in concurrently enrolled courses through LSU.  These courses are taught on the U-High campus during regular school hours.  Students that successfully complete a concurrent course receive a letter grade and an LSU transcript that will apply to earned credit for the student if they enter LSU.  The credits will also transfer to any university that accepts credits from LSU.  Tuition for these classes is waived as are University related fees.  Students are expected to purchase their own textbooks and they are also required to pay any course related fees that may apply. For the 2007-2008 school year, students can choose from the following selection of concurrent enrollment courses: Math 1021 (College Algebra); Math 1022 (College Trigonometry); English 1001 (Freshman English); and Environmental Studies 1126.

Excellence is demonstrated in the following ways:

• K-12 Achievement
  • The Lab School is recognized by the State of Louisiana Department of Education as a “five-star school”; only one of ten Louisiana schools to achieve this level of academic excellence.  This determination is based on LEAP, Iowa, and GEE testing, attendance and dropout rates.
  • Leads the state with the largest percentage of National Board Certified teachers with 20-82 total faculty or 24.4%.
  • For many years, the school has offered a college preparatory curriculum which has recently been strengthened by the addition of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and the IB Primary Years Programme.  The school is now actively engaged in the affiliation process for the IB Middle Years Programme

• Elementary School/Middle School
  • Students exceed the state average scores in English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies as measured by the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program.  The Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (LEAP) tests school accountability at the fourth and eighth grade levels.  University Laboratory School students exceed the state average scores in each tested subject area.  The percent “Basic and Above” is the percent of students scoring at the top three levels – Advanced, Mastery and Basic.  Based on the 2004 - 2005 published results, Lab School fourth graders scored 98% basic or above compared to the 64% state average in English/Language Arts, 94% compared to 61% in mathematics, 100% compared to 62% in science, and 98% compared to 58% in social studies.  In 8th grade, Lab School students scored in “Basic or Above” 95% compared to state results of 53% in English, 79% compared to 54% in math, 89% compared to 52% in science, and 95% compared to 57% in social studies.
  • Grades 3, 6, and 7 average approximately 30% higher than the national average score on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. The national average was in the 50 percentile.  Lab School third graders scored in the 84 percentile, fifth graders 83 percentile, sixth graders 75 percentile and seventh graders 76 percentile.
    

• High School
  • Students exceed the state average on the Louisiana Graduate Exit Exam.  The Louisiana Graduate Exit Exam (GEE) tests school accountability.  University High School graduating seniors exceed the state average scores in each tested subject area of the GEE.  The percent “Basic and Above” is the percent of students scoring at the top three levels – Advanced, Mastery and Basic.  Based on the most recent published results (2004 - 2005), Lab School seniors scored 97% basic or above compared to the 63% state average in English/Language Arts, 89% compared to 63% in mathematics, 92% compared to 60% in science, and 92% compared to 63% in social studies.  Ninth graders average over 30 percentile higher than the national average score on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (83 percentile compared to 50 percentile).
  • Approximately 75% of the juniors and seniors are enrolled in International Baccalaureate (IB) classes.
  • Scholarships in excess of $1,000,000 were awarded to the 2003 graduating class, averaging $13,513.51 per graduating senior.
