Summary

Coteau Elementary School in New Iberia, LA, is a consistently high-performing school serving 353 students in grades PK through 6, and it stands out as an academic leader within the Iberia Parish district.

Coteau has earned a 4-star rating for nine consecutive years and ranks in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools. Its test scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools. For example, in math, 80% of Coteau students are proficient, compared to just 42% at Park Elementary School. In social studies, Coteau’s 73% proficiency rate is a staggering 44 points higher than Johnston Hopkins Elementary School (29%). The school also excels in English language arts, with 78% proficiency versus 57% at Johnston Hopkins. Notably, Coteau achieves these results while serving a student body where nearly 79% come from low socio-economic backgrounds, a feat not replicated by its peers. The school also has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.9%, less than half the district average of 22.3% and far better than Park Elementary (36.3%).

One of the most remarkable findings is Coteau’s 5th-grade math proficiency rate of 92%, which is 31 points higher than the state average. This specific strength suggests effective instructional practices worth investigating. While Coteau is a top-tier school in Iberia Parish, it also competes well with schools in the more affluent Lafayette Parish, such as Green T. Lindon Elementary School (ranked 42nd) and Martial Billeaud Elementary School (ranked 96th), making its achievements even more impressive given the economic challenges its students face. Coteau serves as a clear model for other schools in the district, demonstrating that high academic achievement is possible regardless of socio-economic factors.
