Summary

DeQuincy Elementary School in DeQuincy, LA, serves 222 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Calcasieu Parish school district, and has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a 2-star rating to a 4-star rating, now ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of special education students, who earned a 5-star rating and ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. This success is unmatched by nearby schools like Frasch Elementary School or Maplewood Elementary. However, there is a notable gender performance gap: male students rank in the 81st percentile (4 stars), while female students rank in the 49th percentile (2 stars), suggesting instructional strategies may be more effective for boys. Additionally, while DeQuincy Elementary’s chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% matches the state average, it is higher than top-performing peers like Frasch Elementary (10.0%) and Maplewood Elementary (11.8%), indicating the school achieves strong results despite attendance challenges.

Despite about 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, DeQuincy Elementary’s academic performance is competitive with schools serving fewer economically disadvantaged students. For example, its 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (82%) exceeds that of W. T. Henning Elementary School (73%), which has a slightly lower poverty rate. An interesting contrast emerges with its feeder school, DeQuincy Primary School (serving PK-2), which lacks recent ranking data and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (23.7%), suggesting that DeQuincy Elementary’s strong performance may overcome challenges from earlier grades. One area for attention is 5th-grade social studies, where only 51% of students are proficient—below the district average of 62%—a drop-off from stronger 3rd and 4th-grade results that may indicate a curriculum gap.
