Center Street Elementary School

Summary:

Center Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Iberia, Louisiana, serving 421 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Iberia Parish School District. This racially diverse school has a unique academic profile, with strengths and challenges that set it apart from nearby elementary schools.

Compared to other schools in the area, Center Street Elementary has a more diverse student population, with 42.04% White, 20.43% African American, 25.89% Hispanic, and 9.74% two or more races. While the school's overall academic performance on LEAP tests is generally on par with or slightly below the Iberia Parish and Louisiana state averages, its African American and Hispanic students tend to outperform their respective state averages. However, the school's White student subgroup lags slightly behind the state average for White students.

Another notable aspect of Center Street Elementary is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.2% - significantly higher than nearby schools like Caneview Elementary, Jefferson Island Road Elementary, and North Lewis Elementary. This high poverty rate likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, but also presents opportunities for additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
