Louisiana DOE announces 8 Blue Ribbon Schools, 3 of them are in Acadiana

BATON ROUGE, La. (KLFY) — The Louisiana Department of Education has released what could be its last annual list of Louisiana Blue Ribbon Schools, and Acadiana is well represented.

Caneview Elementary in Iberia Parish, Cecil Picard Elementary in Vermilion Parish and Early College Academy in Lafayette Parish are among the eight schools honored on this year’s list.

“These schools have demonstrated a clear and consistent commitment to educational excellence,” said Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley, in a news release. “It’s an honor to recognize the hard work and leadership of these students, educators, and families.”

The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, which began in 1982, was jointly administered by the U.S. Department of Education and state departments of education, until it was scrapped this year. It was created to recognize schools whose students achieve at very high levels or schools making significant progress in closing achievement gaps among different groups of students.

The federal department encouraged states to recognize their 2025 nominees after the national program was discontinued. It is unclear if BESE intends to continue the program at the state level.

Here is the list of the eight schools honored statewide:

  • Caneview Elementary | Iberia Parish
  • Cecil Picard Elementary | Vermilion Parish
  • Early College Academy | Lafayette Parish
  • Haynes Academy | Jefferson Parish
  • Mulberry Elementary | Terrebonne Parish
  • South Live Oak Elementary | Livingston Parish
  • St. Dominic School | New Orleans Archdiocese
  • St. Jude School | Baton Rouge Diocese
