Summary

Crescent Elementary/Junior High School in Plaquemine, LA, is a mid-sized school serving 379 students in grades PK-6 within the Iberville Parish school district, which holds a 2-star rating and ranks 74th out of 116 districts in Louisiana.

Academically, Crescent shows a mixed performance with notable strengths and weaknesses. The school generally performs at or slightly above the district average in Math, ELA, and Social Studies, but its state ranking has declined from 4-star ratings between 2016-2019 to a current 2-star to 3-star range. A standout feature is the 4th grade, which achieved 82% proficiency in ELA—well above the state average of 72%. However, 5th grade performance drops sharply, with only 54% proficiency in Math and 57% in ELA, suggesting a transition issue that needs attention. Compared to nearby schools, Crescent outperforms the struggling Iberville Charter Academy (17th percentile) and South Baton Rouge Charter Academy (11th percentile), but it lags behind Iberville Elementary School (56th percentile) and the high-performing schools in West Baton Rouge Parish, such as Lukeville Elementary School and Brusly Upper Elementary School.

One of Crescent’s biggest advantages is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 8.5:1, tied for the lowest among comparable schools and far better than Iberville Elementary’s 12.2:1. This small class size offers potential for individualized instruction, though it hasn’t yet translated into top-tier academic results. Chronic absenteeism is a positive point, with a rate of 15.6%—lower than the district average of 16.1% and the state average of 22.5%. For families in southern Iberville Parish, Crescent provides a stable, mid-tier option that is clearly superior to nearby charter alternatives, even if it can’t match the performance of schools in neighboring West Baton Rouge Parish.
