Summary

Iberia Middle School in New Iberia, LA, serves 405 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Iberia Parish school district, where about 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1, which is among the smallest in the area and suggests more individualized attention for your child. Overall, Iberia Middle ranks in the 54th percentile statewide, placing it solidly in the middle of the pack compared to nearby schools.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its strong performance for Hispanic and African American students, who consistently score well above state averages. However, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has climbed to 29.2%—higher than the district average of 22.3% and the state average of 22.5%. This is a key area to watch, as missing school can directly impact learning. Social Studies is also a consistent weak spot, with only 55% of students proficient, offering a clear opportunity for improvement. When compared to its district peers, Iberia Middle outperforms nearby Anderson Middle School (which ranks in the 27th percentile) but trails Belle Place Middle School (74th percentile) in every subject, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio.

For parents, Iberia Middle offers a supportive environment with small class sizes and a track record of success for many student groups. The school's stable performance over the past decade shows consistency, but addressing chronic absenteeism and boosting Social Studies scores could help it climb higher. If you're comparing options, keep in mind that top-performing schools like Erath Middle School (91st percentile) and Youngsville Middle School (77th percentile) are located in more affluent areas, while Iberia Middle serves a higher-poverty community. Overall, this is a school that works well for many families, especially if your child benefits from smaller classes and targeted support.
