Summary

Jeanerette Senior High School is a small, rural school in Jeanerette, LA, serving 291 students in grades 7-12 within the Iberia Parish district, where a high percentage of families (87%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s most striking feature is its high graduation rate of 90.8%, which outpaces both the district (84.1%) and state (85.0%) averages, even though test scores in core subjects like math and English are below state benchmarks. This suggests the school excels at providing personalized support to help students stay on track to graduate. A key strength is its very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1—the lowest among nearby schools like Loreauville High School (16.4 to 1) and New Iberia Senior High School (15.6 to 1)—which allows for more individualized attention. Additionally, the school shows a notable strength in Algebra I, with 75% of students proficient, outperforming the district (69%) and state (65%) and matching Delcambre High School (75%).

Compared to Westgate High School, another low-ranked school in the same district, Jeanerette performs better in nearly every area, including a higher graduation rate (90.8% vs. 79.1%), lower chronic absenteeism (24.1% vs. 36.9%), and stronger test scores, despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population. However, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge, though it has improved significantly from a peak of 60% in 2020-2021. The school’s ranking has been stable in the 2-star range for the past five years, a decline from a 4-star peak in 2017-2018, but its focus on graduation and small class sizes makes it a supportive option for families prioritizing a close-knit environment.
