Evangeline Elementary School

Evangeline Elementary School is a regular public school in Evangeline, Louisiana, serving pre-K through grade 8. Its 170 students benefit from a 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio — tight class sizes that translate into more direct instruction time per student. The numbers tell a clear story.

Evangeline Elementary earns a 9.3/10 composite score and an Exceptional rating, driven by a 9.5 academic score and a 9.3 growth score. Growth is the harder metric to manufacture: it measures year-over-year student progress, not just entry-level performance. The school ranks #1 of 27 in Acadia Parish — no other local public school is close — and #11 of 703 elementary schools statewide.

Among all 1,288 Louisiana public schools, it ranks #19, outperforming 99% of the state. For a school enrolling 170 students in a small Louisiana community, those standings carry real weight. Families comparing options in Acadia Parish face a clear choice.

Those casting a wider net across Louisiana will find fewer than 20 public schools that rate higher on MySchoolScout's composite measure.

With an enrollment of 170 students, Evangeline Elementary School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Evangeline Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
