Summary

Delcambre Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Delcambre, LA, serving 472 students within the Iberia Parish school district, and it consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in Louisiana.

This school is an academic powerhouse, with 90% of all students proficient in both math and English Language Arts—far exceeding the district and state averages. Remarkably, 100% of its 3rd graders achieved perfect math proficiency. While about 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 97th percentile for serving economically disadvantaged students, proving it is highly effective at closing the achievement gap. This success is supported by a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.2%, which is dramatically lower than nearby schools like Park Elementary (36.3%) and Johnston Hopkins Elementary (30.6%).

Delcambre’s closest high-performing peer is Dozier Elementary School in the neighboring Vermilion Parish, just 2.65 miles away, which shares similarly low absenteeism and strong test scores. This suggests a local culture of educational excellence that transcends district boundaries. While the school’s overall performance is elite, 5th-grade social studies (70% proficient) is a relative dip compared to other subjects, though still well above the state average. For parents seeking a school with consistent, top-tier academics and a strong community culture, Delcambre Elementary is an exceptional choice.
