High Schools in Iberville Parish

The Iberville Parish school district in Louisiana is home to three high schools: Plaquemine Senior High School, White Castle High School, and North Iberville High School. While the district faces challenges common to many low-income areas, North Iberville High stands out as a relatively high-performing school within the Iberville Parish system.

North Iberville High School earns a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 156th out of 333 Louisiana high schools, outperforming the district and state averages in most academic subject areas. The school's small student-teacher ratio of 4.7 students per teacher may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to Plaquemine Senior High (14 students per teacher) and White Castle High (8.9 students per teacher). However, all three schools serve predominantly low-income student populations, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 65.96% to 81.48%.

The racial makeup of the schools also varies considerably, with White Castle High having a much higher percentage of African American students (83.02%) compared to Plaquemine Senior (57.47%) and North Iberville (57.49%). This disparity raises questions about equity and access within the district. Overall, the data highlights both the strengths of North Iberville High and the challenges facing the Iberville Parish school system, which must address socioeconomic and racial disparities to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
