Summary

Oberlin Elementary School in Oberlin, LA, serves 262 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the high-performing Allen Parish school district, which ranks in the top 21% of all Louisiana districts.

One of the most impressive things about Oberlin Elementary is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.1% of students were chronically absent, compared to 19.6% for the district and 22.5% statewide. This is significantly better than nearby schools like Fenton Elementary School (19.8%) and W. W. Stewart Elementary School (17.8%). The school also excels in math, with 76% of students proficient in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 62%. Social studies is another standout subject, with 65% proficiency versus 55% statewide. Additionally, Oberlin has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, meaning your child is likely to get more individual attention than at Kinder Elementary School (12.9) or East Beauregard Elementary School (15.3).

While the school performs well overall, there are some interesting patterns to note. Oberlin is particularly effective for male students and students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the top 22% of the state for both groups. However, it struggles more with female students and white students, who rank lower. Also, 6th graders are a standout in English Language Arts, with 89% proficient in 2025-2026—a full 15 points higher than the state average. The school’s state ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has shown a strong ability to bounce back, making it a solid choice for families in the area.
