Summary

New Iberia Senior High School is a large public high school in New Iberia, LA, serving 1,315 students in grades 9-12 within the Iberia Parish school district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 74th percentile statewide.

This school stands out as the highest-performing traditional high school in the immediate New Iberia area, with academic results that far surpass its closest geographic rivals. For instance, proficiency in Algebra I (81%) and English II (73%) dramatically exceeds that of Westgate High School (37% and 44%) and St. Martinville Senior High School (42% and 47%). The school is particularly effective with its economically diverse student body—65.25% qualify for free or reduced lunch—ranking in the 78th percentile for low-socioeconomic status students. This is a remarkable achievement compared to higher-ranked nearby schools like Loreauville High School (87th percentile overall) and Delcambre High School (76th percentile), which have significantly lower poverty rates. The school also excels with Special Education students, earning a 5-star rating, though it struggles with English Language Learners, ranking in the 25th percentile.

However, the school faces a critical "engagement gap." Its chronic absenteeism rate of 31.1% is nearly 40% higher than the district and state averages (both around 22%), and far worse than Loreauville (17.4%) and Delcambre (19.2%). The graduation rate of 82.8% is below the district (84.1%) and state (85.0%) averages, and has been inconsistent, dropping to 74.4% in 2023-2024 before recovering. While the school delivers strong instruction for students who attend regularly, a significant portion of the student body is missing substantial instructional time, suggesting that improving student engagement is the key challenge for this otherwise high-performing school.
