Summary

Delcambre High School is a small, high-performing public school in Delcambre, LA, serving 454 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Iberia Parish school district.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic achievement, with 88% of students proficient in Math and 92% in English Language Arts—far exceeding district averages of 71% and 74%. These scores are competitive with top regional schools like North Vermilion High School (85% Math, 86% ELA) and Erath High School (81% Math, 89% ELA), while dramatically outpacing nearby Westgate High School (37% Math, 44% ELA) and Abbeville High School (34% Math, 59% ELA). Delcambre also boasts a remarkably low dropout rate of just 1.1% (compared to the district average of 3.3%) and a consistently high graduation rate of 90.2%, well above the district (84.1%) and state (85.0%) averages. The school is particularly effective at supporting its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 93rd percentile statewide.

A key advantage is Delcambre's very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, which is much lower than high-performing peers like North Vermilion High School (21.6:1) and Erath High School (20.5:1). This small-school environment allows for individualized attention, especially in the middle school grades (6-8), where students often outperform high schoolers in the same subjects. While the school's state ranking has fluctuated, its test scores have remained strong and stable. One area to watch is a rise in chronic absenteeism from 7.2% to 19.2% over recent years, though this remains below the district (22.3%) and state (22.5%) averages. Delcambre's consistent excellence, despite being in a lower-ranked district than its high-performing neighbor Erath, is a strong testament to its effective school culture.
