Summary

Valverda Elementary School in Maringouin, LA, serves 436 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Pointe Coupee Parish school district, where roughly two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Valverda is the top-performing elementary school in its district, with 71% of students proficient in Math and 74% in ELA, significantly outpacing nearby Rosenwald Elementary (34% Math, 43% ELA) and Rougon Elementary (47% Math, 60% ELA). However, the school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism: 43.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, more than triple the rate at nearby Caneview K-8 School (13.0%) in the West Baton Rouge Parish district. Despite this, Valverda achieves strong academic results for the students who attend regularly, suggesting effective instruction. The school also boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and a perfect 0% dropout rate over the past three years.

Valverda shows notable strengths in its 6th grade program, where 89% of students are proficient in Math compared to 62% district-wide. The school has also demonstrated success in serving all student groups equitably, though there has been a sharp decline in performance for Special Education students from the 85th percentile to the 19th percentile in just one year. While Valverda leads its district, schools in the neighboring West Baton Rouge Parish generally outperform it, highlighting the impact of district-level resources and policies on student outcomes.
