Summary

Daspit Road Elementary School in New Iberia, LA, is a mid-sized school serving 503 students in grades PK-6 within the Iberia Parish district, a strong district with a 4-star rating, though the school itself has seen a notable decline from a peak 78th percentile statewide rank in 2017-2018 to its current 54th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating.

Daspit Road’s math proficiency (74%) is a clear strength, matching the district average and exceeding the state average, but social studies proficiency (49%) is a significant weakness, falling below both district (57%) and state (55%) averages. This contrasts with nearby high-performing schools like North Lewis Elementary (88th percentile, 72% social studies) and Loreauville Elementary (89th percentile), which are on upward trajectories. The school’s chronic absenteeism rate has more than tripled from 5.7% in 2021-2022 to 22.0% in 2024-2025, directly mirroring its academic decline, while top-performing peers like Loreauville (8.3%) and North Lewis (11.3%) keep absenteeism low. Additionally, the school’s effectiveness with special education students has plummeted from the 58th percentile to the 34th percentile in just one year, a major red flag requiring immediate attention.

Despite a high poverty rate (78.33% free/reduced lunch), Daspit Road is not destined for poor performance—Caneview Elementary has a similar poverty rate (74.66%) but achieves significantly higher test scores and a better state rank. Daspit Road sits in the middle of the Iberia Parish elementary landscape, outperforming lower-performing schools like Park Elementary and Johnston Hopkins Elementary but trailing the high-performing cluster. To reverse its downward trend, the school must prioritize improving attendance, investigate special education supports, and implement targeted strategies to boost social studies instruction, learning from successful models within its own district.
