District-Level NCES Analysis
Lsu Laboratory School operates 1 public schools serving 1,497 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,145 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 51.3% local, 45.9% state, and 2.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 31/100, ranked #146 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 487.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 0.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.5% White, 16.3% African American, 4.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Lsu Laboratory School accounts for 97.7% of all Lsu Laboratory School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lsu Laboratory School a distant remainder — means Lsu Laboratory School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Lsu Laboratory School student-counselor ratio is 488:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Lsu Laboratory School chronic absenteeism rate is 0.4% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Lsu Laboratory School has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 1,497 students.
