JUDSON FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Judson Fundamental Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Caddo Parish school district, located in Shreveport, LA with about 406 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, Judson Fundamental Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Judson Fundamental Elementary School, located in Shreveport, Louisiana, operates as a specialized magnet school within the Caddo Parish Public School system. As a "fundamental" school, its core philosophy centers on a structured, traditional academic environment that emphasizes strong discipline, consistent expectations, and a back-to-basics approach to curriculum. The school maintains a clear focus on core subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science, often requiring a higher level of parental involvement and student commitment compared to conventional neighborhood schools.

Beyond its academic rigor, Judson Fundamental is known for cultivating a sense of community and school pride. Because it operates on a choice-based model, the school typically draws families who are seeking a highly disciplined atmosphere and a uniform-based dress code. By prioritizing a high-order learning environment and behavioral consistency, the school aims to prepare its students for success in middle school and beyond, fostering an educational culture where academic achievement and character development are held in equal regard.
