Summary

Belle Place Elementary School in New Iberia, LA, serves 377 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Iberia Parish school district, which ranks in the top 30% of districts statewide.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 12.3%, which is nearly half the district and state averages. This strong attendance record, combined with a lower rate of economic disadvantage compared to nearby schools, creates a stable learning environment. Only about 60% of Belle Place students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a stark contrast to neighboring schools like St. Charles Street Elementary and Park Elementary, where over 90% of students face economic challenges. Academically, Belle Place shines in mathematics, with 74% of students proficient overall and an impressive 87% proficiency rate among 6th graders—22 points above the state average. The school also maintains consistent strength in English Language Arts, with 79% of students proficient in 2024-2025.

While Belle Place is a solid, above-average school, it has seen a slight downward trend in its overall state ranking, falling from the 80th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026. Nearby schools like North Lewis Elementary and Loreauville Elementary outperform Belle Place in most academic metrics, including math, ELA, and social studies. Social studies is a clear area for growth at Belle Place, with only 56% of students proficient—just above the state average but below the district. For families seeking a school with strong attendance, solid math and reading performance, and a more economically stable student body, Belle Place is a reliable choice, though it may not be the top academic performer in the immediate area.
