Summary:
Dubberly, Louisiana, is home to a single public elementary school, Central Elementary School, which serves 427 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and stands out as a high-performing academic bright spot within the Webster Parish school district.
Central Elementary School significantly outperforms both its district and the state of Louisiana in every tested subject. For the 2025-2026 school year, the school achieved 75% proficiency in Mathematics, 76% in English Language Arts, and 68% in Social Studies—far exceeding the district averages of 51%, 58%, and 44%, respectively. This consistent over-performance has earned the school a 4-star rating and a state ranking in the top quarter of all Louisiana elementary schools (76th percentile), a remarkable feat given that the Webster Parish district ranks in the bottom third statewide. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.0% is less than half the district's rate of 30.6%, which is a key factor driving its academic success and upward ranking trend.
While the school excels overall, there are notable grade-level variations worth attention. For instance, 4th graders achieved an impressive 86% proficiency in Mathematics, but 5th graders dropped to 63%, suggesting a potential area for curriculum review. Social Studies is a particular strength, with the school outperforming the district by 24 percentage points. Central Elementary has also shown consistent year-over-year growth, with Math proficiency rising from 72% to 75% and ELA from 73% to 76% between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, painting a picture of a school that is actively improving and providing a strong educational foundation for its students.
