Summary:
In zip code 70372, there is one elementary school, Labadieville Primary School, which serves grades PK through 4 and is part of the Assumption Parish school district, a district ranked 47th out of 116 in Louisiana.
Labadieville Primary School is a school on a clear upward trajectory, having improved its state ranking from the 19th percentile (1-star) in 2023-2024 to the 38th percentile (2-star) in 2025-2026. This consistent improvement is a positive sign for parents. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 83.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it benefits from a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1, which allows for more individualized attention. However, a significant challenge is chronic absenteeism, which affects 28.2% of students—a rate notably higher than the state average of 22.5%.
Academically, the school shows a mixed performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, its math proficiency (61%) is nearly on par with the state average (62%), while English Language Arts (62%) and Social Studies (44%) lag behind state averages (70% and 55%, respectively). A deeper look reveals a "3rd grade peak," where the school outperforms the state in both math (67% vs. 62%) and ELA (71% vs. 64%), but performance drops significantly in later grades. This suggests the school builds a strong early foundation but struggles to maintain momentum, making the reduction of chronic absenteeism a critical lever for continued improvement.
