Summary

Magnolia Elementary is a public elementary school in New Iberia, Louisiana, serving 423 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, Magnolia Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Magnolia Elementary's student performance on LEAP tests is generally lower than the Iberia Parish and Louisiana averages across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (57%) and English Language Arts (68%) are below the Iberia Parish (68% and 75%) and Louisiana (60% and 70%) averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in 4th grade Mathematics, where only 43% of students are proficient, compared to 74% in Iberia Parish and 65% statewide. Additionally, Magnolia Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 24.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Magnolia Elementary's performance is generally weaker than the nearby Loreauville Elementary, North Lewis Elementary, and Caneview Elementary, which have higher rankings, test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. These nearby schools serve student populations with lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in Magnolia Elementary's academic performance.
