Summary

Forked Island/E. Broussard Elementary School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Abbeville, LA, serving 243 students within the highly-ranked Vermilion Parish school district. This school stands out for its exceptional academic consistency, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 51st out of 690 Louisiana elementary schools, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 that supports personalized learning.

The most striking differentiator is the school's outstanding performance in Social Studies, where 81% of all students were proficient compared to the district average of 64% and state average of 55%. This strength is consistent across all tested grades, with 7th graders achieving an 88% proficiency rate. The school is also remarkably effective at serving its economically disadvantaged students, with Low SES students ranking in the 92nd-93rd percentile statewide for three consecutive years. While nearby schools like Meaux Elementary show volatile rankings, Forked Island/E. Broussard has maintained a stable high ranking (90th, 90th, 82nd, 85th, and 93rd percentiles over five years). It is academically comparable to Dozier Elementary and Seventh Ward Elementary, but its unique advantage is sustained high performance through 8th grade—unlike most nearby elementary schools that only go to 5th grade.

However, chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 6.6% in 2021-2022 to 26.6% recently, now above the state average of 22.5%, which is a critical area to monitor. The school's small size likely contributes to its ability to provide personalized instruction and build strong relationships, a significant advantage over larger schools like Leblanc Elementary (624 students) or Vermilion Charter Academy (919 students, 19.1:1 ratio). In stark contrast, James A. Herod Elementary School, just 12 miles away, has a 1-star rating with proficiency rates 30-50 percentage points lower, highlighting how dramatically school quality can vary even within the same district.
