Summary

Johnston Hopkins Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in New Iberia, Louisiana, with 468 students enrolled. 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.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Johnston Hopkins Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's overall proficiency rate in Mathematics was 53%, compared to 68% for the district and 60% for the state. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 32.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Johnston Hopkins Elementary to other nearby schools in the Iberia Parish district, it consistently underperforms. Schools like Belle Place Elementary, Jefferson Island Road Elementary, and North Lewis Elementary all have higher rankings, proficiency rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Johnston Hopkins Elementary. Despite these challenges, the school has pockets of relative strength, such as the 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate, which was 69% in 2024-2025, closer to the district and state averages, suggesting that with targeted interventions and support, the school has the potential to improve student outcomes.
