2020 Best Middle Schools in the Lafayette AreaAbout this List

Episcopal School of Acadiana

• Private School
• Broussard, LA
• PK, K-12
• 73 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!

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.

Westminster Christian Academy

• Private School

• PK, K-12
• 68 reviews

Senior: Westminster gave me an excellent high school experience, by giving me a great environment to grow up in. Even though the school is quite small it gave me life long friends and a great support system of people. Going through high school here has brought me many challenges academically, but I have never felt more prepared to go to college. While it has given me many friends to rely on, but it has also given me great teachers. Not only are they great teachers and know what they are doing, but they also care for you. They would take time out of their day to talk to me and help solve my problems. I would definitely recommend this school to a parent looking for a small yet great school to send their child to.

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.

Highland Baptist Christian School

• Private School
• New Iberia, LA
• PK, K-12
• 21 reviews

Parent: Our child has been at Highland Baptist Christian School since kindergarten. Almost half of the students that she will be graduating with have been her friend from day one. HBCS is more like a family than a school.

We like that HBCS is a small school that provides a big school education. They offer a full academic program, so the students graduate ready to move on to college without having to go into remedial programs. We appreciate that the teachers take the time to make sure that each student is reaching their full potential.

The old administrator was good, but the new administrator is excellent. With his leadership the school has done nothing but improve over the last two years. He is very active through out the school, and knows most of the 500 students by their first name.

Catholic High School

• Private School
• New Iberia, LA
• 4-12
• 24 reviews

Senior: Catholic High really is a place to grow. It is a small school with about 700 kids 4th-12th. You know everyone. After so long of being there and knowing everyone, it turns into a family. Some teachers look out for you like you are their child but a select few would like to see you suffer. The events held by Catholic High are always fun and it can definitely be considered a community-based school. They offer lots of chances to be prepared in college, like DE courses and the honors program.

Parent: We have had a great experience at EAM. My daughter has thrived there! My son starts in August and looking forward to it! The teachers have been is great over the past 3 years. The guidelines placed on the school through LPSS often seems to cause the most issues. The administration really seems to care for the kids and is always grateful for any parental support that is given.
