Summary

Iberville Elementary School in Plaquemine, LA, is a PK-6 school serving 839 students and stands as the largest elementary school in the Iberville Parish district, located in a community where about 78.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround over the past eight years, climbing from a 1-star rating (26th percentile) in 2017-2018 to a 3-star rating (56th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. It consistently outperforms its district peers in core subjects, with all-grade math proficiency at 73% compared to Dorseyville Elementary School (59%) and Crescent Elementary/Junior High School (63%), and English Language Arts at 71% versus Dorseyville (64%) and Crescent (67%). Notably, Iberville Elementary earns 4-star ratings for its work with both African American and White students, placing it in the top 25-30% of schools statewide for these groups. The school has also dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 19.3% in 2022-2023 to 12.1% in 2024-2025, far better than the state average of 22.5% and the district average of 16.1%.

An interesting comparison highlights the school's unique success: just 1.05 miles away, Iberville Charter Academy serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 17th percentile (1 star) with far lower proficiency rates in math (41%), ELA (56%), and social studies (33%). This contrast suggests Iberville Elementary's achievements stem from effective leadership and school culture rather than community demographics alone. The school excels in building strong foundational skills, with 4th graders achieving 77% proficiency in math and 73% in ELA. However, a notable weakness is its support for special education students, who rank in the 37th percentile (2 stars), indicating a need for targeted improvement in this area.
