Summary

Vidrine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Ville Platte, Louisiana, with 377 students enrolled. The school is part of the Evangeline Parish School District, which is ranked 45 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vidrine Elementary consistently outperforms the Evangeline Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across most grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Vidrine's 3rd grade Math proficiency rate was 73% compared to 61% for Evangeline Parish and 64% for Louisiana, and their 7th grade ELA proficiency rate was 80%, significantly higher than the parish (69%) and state (70%) averages. The school has also seen a decline in dropout rates, from 6.0% in 2022-2023 to 2.6% in 2023-2024, though this is still slightly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Vidrine outperforms most in the Evangeline Parish district, such as Chataignier Elementary and Bayou Chicot Elementary, in both Math and ELA proficiency rates. However, Mamou Elementary, located just 4 miles away, has significantly higher test scores, ranking in the top 30% of Louisiana elementary schools. Vidrine's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support for its students, which could contribute to its strong academic performance.
