Summary

W. W. Stewart Elementary School in Basile, LA, is a small PK-4 school serving 283 students within the Evangeline Parish school district, a district that holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 60th percentile statewide.

This school is a standout performer, consistently earning 4 or 5 stars over the past decade and significantly outperforming its district and state averages in all core subjects. For the 2025-2026 school year, 76% of students were proficient in Math (vs. 62% statewide), 78% in ELA (vs. 70% statewide), and 67% in Social Studies (vs. 55% statewide). This level of achievement is particularly impressive given that about 60% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. The school's performance with these students is exceptional, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide. This success is even more notable when compared to nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Mamou Elementary School (79% free/reduced lunch), which has a similar Math proficiency rate (75%) but lags significantly in ELA (71%) and Social Studies (50%).

W. W. Stewart also excels in preparing students for 4th-grade assessments, with 83% proficiency in Math and 86% in ELA—among the highest of all nearby elementary schools, including those in the higher-ranked Acadia Parish. For instance, its overall state rank of 128 (81st percentile) is better than Iota Elementary School (160th, 77th percentile) in Acadia Parish. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is well below the district average (25.1%) and state average (22.5%), and significantly lower than nearby schools like Eunice Elementary School (35.0%). This combination of high academic achievement, effective support for economically disadvantaged students, and strong attendance makes W. W. Stewart a compelling choice for families in the Basile area.
