2020 Best Elementary Schools in the Lafayette AreaAbout this List

Episcopal School of Acadiana

• Private School
• Broussard, LA
• PK, K-12
• 69 reviews

Parent: We relocated to the Lafayette area from another state approximately 4-5 years ago. We always wanted our children to get the very best opportunities within our residential location. Moving from out of state, we quickly learned that ESA offerred the best overall opportunities for our children. The one thing that we notice where the school really continues to struggle at is the lack of diversity! The diversity within this school is grossly over represented on this website. Overall, this is school has a really good curriculum with many different extracurricular activities for the children.

Ascension Episcopal School

• Private School
• Lafayette, LA
• PK, K-12
• 44 reviews

Senior: Having been attending the school since I was in kindergarten, Ascension has undeniably become my second home. I honestly believe I am with my school family more than with my biological one.

One of my favorited aspects of Ascension is the freedom granted to its students to truly explore their own unique interests and be themselves. Additionally, Ascension creates a community atmosphere in which students are not only permitted but encouraged to openly communicate with their teachers on a personal level. Through this, I believe this school has successfully prepared me to later exist amidst a professional environment following graduation!

Schools of the Sacred Heart

• Private School
• Grand Coteau, LA
• PK, K-12
• 34 reviews

Parent: This school is unique as it is the only school in Louisiana that can offer single gender education for PK-12 for both boys and girls on the same beautiful campus, and has a boarding school in which our children can make friends and be exposed to cultures around the world. The international exchange program with the many Schools of the Sacred Heart also opens up an opportunity for my children to be able to travel abroad and give them a more global perspective. Besides these unique opportunities, it is hard to put into words the feel of this school. It’s rich, near 200 year history, the pride the boys and girls have in their school and the lifelong bonds they make with their fellow brothers and sisters, and the goals of the Sacred Heart that are deeply instilled in the children and their families, give us all a sense that we are blessed to be a part of this holy place.

Acadiana Renaissance Charter Academy

• Public School
• Lafayette, LA
• K-8
• 3 reviews

Parent: Upon moving to the Lafayette area one of our main criteria on where chose to live was made based on the quality of schools. We chose Youngsville simply because there wasn't a bad school in the area. However do to the odd way school zones are divided we opted to place our daughter on the waiting list to get into the Acadiana Renaissance Charter Academy. ARCA is a K-8 school and offers classes that the others do not as well as athletic programs the others do not. The teachers at ARCA are excellent as is the school's overall vibe which is as close to a private school as you can get in a public one.

Mire Elementary School

• Acadia Parish Public Schools, LA

• 2 reviews

Alum: Welcoming, nurturing, and academically challenging. That's the amazing atmosphere you'll find at Mire Elementary School. I attended Mire from my kindergarten years all the way to my eight grade year. And I can honestly attest that every teacher took individual time for each student and made sure that everyone understood completely whatever it was that they were teaching. Mire was rated an "A" school, and for good reason. There was hardly any disciplinary issues bigger than untucked shirts. It was always evident that the administration was there to help you with anything from personal to academic needs. I've had some of my fondest memories on that campus.
