Summary

Dozier Elementary School in Erath, LA, is a high-performing public school serving 556 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the highly-ranked Vermilion Parish school district, which ranks in the top 12% of districts statewide.

Dozier stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic performance, achieving proficiency rates of 87% in Math, 89% in ELA, and 82% in Social Studies—significantly outpacing both district and state averages. This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine of the last ten years and consistently ranks in the top 10% of all Louisiana elementary schools. What truly sets Dozier apart is its remarkable success with all students, particularly those who often face greater challenges. The school ranks in the 96th percentile for serving special education students and also in the 96th percentile for its performance with low-socioeconomic status students, despite nearly 47% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This demonstrates that Dozier is effectively closing achievement gaps in ways that nearby schools cannot match. For example, while James A. Herod Elementary School, just 4.4 miles away in the same district, serves a similar grade range but has a much higher poverty rate (89%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.8%, Dozier's proficiency rates are nearly double those of Herod (49% Math, 55% ELA).

Dozier also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.0%, less than half the district average of 27.9% and significantly lower than the state average of 22.5%. This suggests a highly engaged student body and a positive school culture. Additionally, Dozier's 82% proficiency in Social Studies is a hidden strength, sitting 27 percentage points above the state average and 18 points above the district average, indicating a strong, engaging curriculum that prepares students with a broad knowledge base. While other strong schools in the area like Meaux Elementary and Seventh Ward Elementary also perform well, Dozier's 94th percentile ranking and its superior performance with special education and low-SES students place it in a class of its own within the district.

Nothing but bullies! The kids learn first hand from the staff on how to be a bully. All they’re worried about it performance reviews rather than making sure the kids understand and aren’t left behind. Close Quote
