Education
[edit]Residents are served by the Iberville Parish School Board. Residents are zoned to North Iberville Elementary School and Plaquemine High School. North Iberville Elementary and High School previously served the community, but North Iberville High School closed in 2009 despite a parental movement to keep the school open. Parents criticized the rezoning to Plaquemine High because of the long distances involved.[6]
In 2022, the Iberville Parish School board voted to reopen North Iberville High School. The high school will be integrated with the Iberville STEM Academy. Students returned to North Iberville High School in the fall of 2022.
