Summary

North Lewis Elementary School in New Iberia, LA, is a PK-6 school serving 488 students as part of the Iberia Parish school district, and it has earned a 4-star rating from the state for six consecutive years, placing it in the top 12% of elementary schools statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all core subjects. In the most recent school year, 83% of students were proficient in Mathematics, 84% in English Language Arts, and 72% in Social Studies—all significantly higher than both district and state averages. What makes this even more impressive is that North Lewis has been steadily improving its state ranking, climbing from the 77th percentile to the 88th percentile over the past four years. In contrast, nearby schools like Jefferson Island Road Elementary have seen dramatic declines, dropping from a 5-star rating to a 3-star rating in just two years. North Lewis also excels at supporting all students, with its Special Education program ranking in the 97th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating—a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from most schools in the region.

Another key differentiator is the school's remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.3%, which is roughly half the district and state averages. This is a dramatic improvement from pandemic-era highs and creates a more stable, productive learning environment. By comparison, nearby schools like Park Elementary (36.3%) and Johnston Hopkins Elementary (30.6%) have absenteeism rates two to three times higher. While North Lewis serves a significant population of students receiving free/reduced lunch (55.94%), this percentage is notably lower than many neighboring schools, and the school's strong performance for low-income students (83rd percentile) demonstrates its effectiveness across diverse student groups. For parents seeking a school with consistent excellence, strong support systems, and a positive school culture, North Lewis Elementary is a clear standout in the New Iberia area.
