(BATON ROUGE, LA) – The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) will release LEAP results for the 2023-24 school year Wednesday, July 24 at 10 a.m. State Superintendent of Education Dr. Cade Brumley will hold a virtual presentation at that time.

Louisiana students have improved two straight years on LEAP, including the largest year-over-year gains since 2016. LEAP measures proficiency in English/language arts (ELA), math, science, and social studies for grades 3-12. Student scores are reported on five levels: Unsatisfactory, Approaching Basic, Basic, Mastery, or Advanced. Students scoring Mastery and Advanced are considered proficient, or ready for the next grade level without the need for remediation or additional support.

Social studies results will not be available this year because the LDOE is developing an assessment for Louisiana’s new Freedom Framework social studies standards. The operational social studies test will occur in the spring of 2025.

More information will be shared later this week after scores are released.
