Summary

Estherwood Elementary School is a small, rural school in Estherwood, LA, serving 203 students in grades PK through 7 within the Acadia Parish school district, and it stands out as a high-performing beacon despite serving a student body where about 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school consistently achieves exceptional academic results that far surpass nearby schools with similar economic challenges. For example, while 84% of Estherwood students were proficient in Math and 83% in ELA in the 2025-2026 school year, nearby South Crowley Elementary School (89% poverty) had only 34% Math proficiency, and Ross Elementary School (93% poverty) had 32% Math proficiency. Estherwood’s overall state ranking places it in the top quartile, earning 4 or 5 stars in 9 of the last 10 years, and it is particularly effective at serving its low-income students, who ranked in the 91st percentile statewide. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.8%, compared to the district average of 29.8% and rates as high as 40.8% in some Crowley schools, showing strong student engagement and a supportive environment.

One interesting highlight is the school’s 7th grade class, where 95% of students were proficient in both Math and ELA, demonstrating a highly effective educational pipeline. While the school excels overall, a slight dip in performance for male and white students in the most recent year is worth monitoring. Estherwood’s resilience is also notable—its chronic absenteeism spiked during the pandemic but has since recovered much more robustly than the district’s, indicating successful interventions to keep students in class. This school is a standout in the rural cluster of Acadia Parish, offering a model of academic excellence and equity.
