An overview of Prairieville public schools
The federal directory lists 11 public schools in Prairieville, LA: 7 elementary, 3 middle, 1 high. The 11 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 8,354 students, an average of 759 per school. The largest campus is Prairieville High School (1,377 students), and the largest elementary school is Prairieville Primary School (865).
Every listed school belongs to Ascension Parish. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 14.2:1, higher than the statewide school median of 13.3:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 45% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
