Summary

Jefferson Island Road Elementary is a public elementary school located in New Iberia, Louisiana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 445 students. The school is part of the Iberia Parish School District, which is ranked 26 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jefferson Island Road Elementary consistently performs above the Iberia Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 77% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 81% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 68% and 75% for Iberia Parish, and 60% and 70% for the state, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th and 6th grade Mathematics, where it had 86% and 85% proficiency rates, respectively, compared to the district and state.

While the school's overall performance is strong, it has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 18.6% to 24.6% over the past few years. This is an area the school could focus on improving to ensure students are consistently attending and engaged in their education. Additionally, the school's performance for its Special Education student population is an area that could be targeted for improvement, as it ranked in the bottom third of Louisiana elementary schools in 2018-2019. Nevertheless, Jefferson Island Road Elementary remains a high-performing school that outperforms most of the nearby schools in the Iberia Parish district, particularly in Mathematics and ELA proficiency rates.
