Summary

The school is part of the Vermilion Parish School District, which is ranked 13th out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dozier Elementary consistently performs exceptionally well on state assessments, ranking among the top elementary schools in Louisiana. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 41st out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This high academic performance is evident across all grade levels and subject areas, with the school consistently outperforming the Vermilion Parish and Louisiana state averages. Dozier Elementary has also demonstrated strong performance across various student subgroups, including female and male students, white students, and students with special needs. Despite having a significant population of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, the school has been able to maintain its high academic performance, ranking among the top schools in Louisiana for this subgroup.

While Dozier Elementary has consistently high academic performance, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area the school may want to address. Compared to nearby schools in the Vermilion Parish, Lafayette Parish, and Iberia Parish districts, Dozier Elementary's performance is notably stronger, suggesting that the school could serve as a model for effective practices that could be replicated at other schools in the region.

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
