Summary

South Rayne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Rayne, Louisiana, with 231 students. It is part of the Acadia Parish school district, which is ranked 32 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

South Rayne Elementary consistently outperforms the Acadia Parish and Louisiana state averages in both math and English language arts proficiency across grades 4 and 5. For example, in 2024-2025, 68% of South Rayne students were proficient or better in math compared to 62% in Acadia Parish and 60% statewide. The school also has particularly strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 20% of Louisiana elementary schools for African American students and in the top 30% for female students in both math and ELA. However, the school faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average.

While South Rayne Elementary outperforms most of the nearby schools in the Acadia Parish district, such as Mire Elementary, North Crowley Elementary, Ross Elementary, and South Crowley Elementary, it lags behind the high-performing Indian Bayou Elementary in the neighboring Vermilion Parish district. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and its performance for special education students is an area of concern that the school should address.
