Summary

Geraldine Boudreaux Elementary School in Terrytown, LA, is a mid-sized PK-8 school within the Jefferson Parish school district, serving 615 students in a predominantly low-income area where 72.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround and exceptional upper-grade performance. After ranking in the 24th percentile in 2024-2025, it surged to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating and jumping 150 spots statewide. The most striking differentiator is its middle school program: in 6th grade, 95% of students are proficient in both math and ELA, far exceeding district averages of 57% and 67%, respectively. In 8th grade, 100% of students are proficient in ELA, and 80% in social studies, compared to district rates of 61% and 55%. No nearby school, including the high-performing Alice M Harte Elementary Charter School, comes close to these numbers. Additionally, the school boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.5%, less than half the district rate of 21.5% and significantly lower than nearby schools like William Hart Elementary School (28.4%) and Dwight D. Eisenhower Charter School (31.0%).

While the school excels in serving Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 61st and 49th percentiles respectively, there are areas for continued focus. Performance in 5th grade math (44% proficient) and social studies (39% proficient) lags behind district and state averages, and outcomes for African American students (24th percentile) and Special Education students (3rd percentile) indicate not all groups are benefiting equally from the recent success. Despite these gaps, the school's dramatic improvement and strong middle school results make it a compelling option for families in Terrytown, especially when compared to the struggling Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish, located just 0.2 miles away and ranking in the 13th percentile.
