Summary

Northeast Elementary School in Opelousas, LA, is a small PK-4 school in the St. Landry Parish school district serving 232 students, where over 90% of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, creating a high-poverty environment that presents significant challenges.

Despite a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1—the lowest among nearby schools like Port Barre Elementary (13.6:1) and Grand Prairie Elementary (13.6:1)—Northeast Elementary has struggled academically, earning a 1-star rating and ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Louisiana elementary schools. However, there is a notable bright spot: 72% of 4th graders were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), matching the state average and outperforming the district average of 67%. This success contrasts sharply with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at just 49%, suggesting a strong 4th-grade teaching team or effective intervention strategies. Unfortunately, math proficiency has declined sharply, dropping from 50% in 2022-2023 to 35% in 2025-2026, while chronic absenteeism has risen from 17.4% to 26.4% over the same period.

Compared to other schools in Opelousas, Northeast Elementary performs similarly to Grolee Elementary and Park Vista Elementary, which also have 1-star ratings. Yet just a few miles away, schools like Port Barre Elementary (70th percentile) and Grand Prairie Elementary (69th percentile) achieve much higher ratings. The school has shown relative strength with its African American students, who consistently earn a 2-star rating, but struggles more with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The key takeaway is that Northeast Elementary has dedicated staff and a proven formula for 4th-grade reading success, but must address rising absenteeism and declining math scores to replicate that achievement across all grades.
