Summary

Vincent Settlement Elementary School in Sulphur, LA, is a small, elite PK-5 school with 284 students that consistently ranks in the top 5% of all elementary schools in Louisiana, earning a 5-star rating every year on record since 2017.

This school is an academic powerhouse, with 91% of students proficient in Math and 92% in English Language Arts—roughly 30 points higher than the state average. What truly sets Vincent Settlement apart is its exceptional support for students with special needs: it ranked 2nd out of 361 schools statewide for Special Education effectiveness, placing it in the 99th percentile. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.1%, far below the district average of 20.9% and the state average of 22.5%. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 and strong proficiency across all subjects (including 82% in Social Studies), this school offers a well-rounded, high-quality education. Its success with students from low socio-economic backgrounds—ranking in the 95th percentile for that subgroup—shows it is a model of equity and excellence.

For context, the only nearby school that rivals Vincent Settlement in overall ranking is Prien Lake Elementary School, another 5-star school with similar low poverty rates and low chronic absenteeism. However, Vincent Settlement’s #2 ranking for Special Education gives it a clear edge in serving its most vulnerable students. Interestingly, Richard W. Vincent Elementary School, just 5 miles away in the same Calcasieu Parish district, has a much higher poverty rate and a 3-star rating, highlighting that Vincent Settlement’s success comes from its specific leadership and culture, not just its location.
