Summary

Coteau Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Iberia, Louisiana, serving 280 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Iberia Parish School District, which is ranked 26 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coteau Elementary consistently outperforms the Iberia Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 75% proficiency in Mathematics and 79% proficiency in ELA, compared to the Iberia Parish averages of 68% and 75%, and the Louisiana state averages of 60% and 70%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 6th grade Mathematics, where 83% of students were proficient, compared to the Iberia Parish and Louisiana averages of 76% and 60%.

While Coteau Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.57% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic performance remains strong, suggesting it is effectively supporting and meeting the needs of its diverse student population. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.2 to 16.4 students per teacher over the past three school years, which may contribute to its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students. However, the school has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism, from 19.1% in 2022-2023 to 24.6% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
