Summary

Center Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Iberia, Louisiana, serving 405 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Iberia Parish School District. While the district is ranked 26 out of 118 in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating, Center Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Louisiana elementary schools, typically between 259-428 out of 666-792 schools, and maintains a 3-star rating.

The school's performance has varied across different student subgroups, with male and African American students generally performing better than female and Hispanic students, respectively. However, English Language Learner (ELL) students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, Center Street Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 29.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the Iberia Parish district, Center Street Elementary generally performs in the middle to lower range, with Caneview Elementary and Jefferson Island Road Elementary consistently outperforming it in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.22% to 77.2%, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, which has generally been below the Iberia Parish and Louisiana state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades.
