About Bullion Primary School
Bullion Primary School serves 655 students in grades PK through 5 in Prairieville, Louisiana. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — a rating of Exceptional — with academics scoring 9.3 and student growth scoring a near-perfect 9.6. Those numbers place it among the strongest elementary schools anywhere in the state.
The 9.6 growth score is the number to focus on. Growth measures how much students improve over time, not just where they start — and a 9.6 means students here are advancing at a rate that outpaces the vast majority of Louisiana schools. With a 12.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio, teachers have enough bandwidth to sustain that pace rather than manage classroom volume.
Statewide, Bullion ranks 20th out of 1,288 Louisiana public schools, outperforming 98% of the state. Among elementary schools specifically, it places 10th out of 703. In Prairieville, it holds the top spot across all 10 public schools.
Families evaluating elementary options in Louisiana will find very few schools that combine this level of academic performance with consistent student growth.
