Summary:
Iberville Charter Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Iberville Charter Academy district in Plaquemine, Louisiana. The school serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 603 students. Despite being a public charter school, Iberville Charter Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Academically, the school struggles, with mathematics proficiency rates ranging from 17% to 48% and English Language Arts proficiency rates from 51% to 60% in the 2024-2025 school year. These scores are well below the state averages of 47% to 65% in mathematics and 65% to 72% in ELA. The school's end-of-course exam proficiency rates in Algebra I (60%) and English I (79%) are slightly above the state averages, but still indicate room for improvement. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% and a dropout rate of 3.3%, suggesting issues with student engagement and support.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as over 65% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1, which could indicate staffing challenges and contribute to the low academic performance. Overall, Iberville Charter Academy faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
