Summary

Mire Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rayne, Louisiana, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 675 students. The school is part of the Acadia Parish School District, which is ranked 32 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mire Elementary consistently performs above the Acadia Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Mire Elementary's overall Mathematics proficiency rate is 72%, compared to 62% for Acadia Parish and 60% for Louisiana, and its overall ELA proficiency rate is 80%, compared to 71% for Acadia Parish and 70% for Louisiana. The school's performance is particularly strong in 6th and 8th grade Mathematics, with proficiency rates of 89% and 74%, respectively, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Mire Elementary's overall academic performance is strong, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. The school's female students and male students perform better than the state average, but the performance of White students and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is more average. Additionally, Mire Elementary has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.1% to 29.3% in recent years, which may be impacting the school's overall performance. Compared to nearby schools in the Acadia Parish district, Mire Elementary generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, but some schools in the neighboring Lafayette Parish district, such as L. Leo Judice Elementary, demonstrate even stronger academic performance.
