Original Research by School Decision on St. Charles Street Elementary School
St. Charles Street Elementary School serves students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in the city of Jeanerette, Louisiana, within the Iberia Parish school system. It is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet school.
The school’s academic performance, as measured by the Louisiana LEAP 2025 assessments for the 2024-25 school year, presents a clear picture. In both math and English language arts, roughly a third of students scored at the proficient level or above. Proficiency rates were lower in science and social studies, where the share of students reaching that benchmark was smaller still. These are the results a parent will want to weigh carefully; the school’s test scores are a central fact of its academic profile. Because this is the only year of data available through the source used here, there is no multi-year trend to show whether these figures represent a change from prior years.
The school is small by enrollment and serves a student body that is predominantly Black, with a small number of white students, multiracial students, and Hispanic students, along with a single American Indian or Alaska Native student. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a marker of the community’s economic context. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not reported in the available information, so a parent seeking details on special education or language support services would need to ask the school directly. The school serves grades PK through 6, so there is no graduation rate to report; its students move on to other schools in the district for the upper grades.
Jeanerette itself is a small city situated along Bayou Teche with a deep connection to sugarcane production, which remains an economic anchor alongside oil and gas activity, manufacturing, and agriculture. The population is majority Black, and the community has a mix of residential areas, historic homes, and industrial sites. Housing values in the area are low relative to state and national benchmarks, and the local housing market has seen a modest decline. The city’s population has been declining in recent years, and the most prominent recent development is the 2024 designation of a Railroad Avenue Historic Cultural District aimed at revitalization. Publicly reported information notes that the Iberia Parish school system serves Jeanerette with separate elementary, middle, and high school campuses, and no specific recent district-level changes were found that would directly affect St. Charles Street Elementary.
Because St. Charles Street Elementary is the only school in its county for which the comparison data set could produce a comparison, no meaningful ranking against other Iberia Parish schools is available. A parent considering this school will have the core academic results and demographic context as the primary points of evaluation, and may want to follow up directly with the school or district about learning supports, program offerings, and the transition to middle school.
