Summary

LeBleu Settlement Elementary School is a high-performing public school in Lake Charles, LA, serving 386 students in grades PK-5 within the Calcasieu Parish district, and it stands out as an island of excellence in an area where many nearby schools struggle.

This school is a true academic powerhouse, earning a 5-star rating for seven consecutive years and ranking in the top 10% of all elementary schools in Louisiana. Its LEAP test scores are remarkable: 89% proficiency in Math and 85% in English Language Arts. To put that in perspective, these scores are nearly double those of nearby schools like T. H. Watkins Elementary School (40% Math, 48% ELA) and Oak Park Elementary School (49% Math, 53% ELA). Even the next best local competitor, Moss Bluff Elementary School, trails behind with 83% Math and 79% ELA. LeBleu Settlement also excels at supporting all students, with low-income students ranking in the 97th percentile statewide, showing the school effectively closes achievement gaps.

Another key strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.9%, which is less than half the district and state averages. This compares very favorably to nearby schools like Ralph F. Wilson Elementary School (38.0%) and Pearl Watson Elementary School (27.5%), indicating a highly engaged student body and strong school culture. While the school serves a more economically diverse population than many of its peers, with about 53% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, its consistent top-tier performance across all student groups—including special education and both male and female students—makes it a standout choice for families seeking a proven, resilient school in the Lake Charles area.
