Summary

Chackbay Elementary School in Thibodaux, LA, is a top-performing public school serving 344 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Lafourche Parish district, consistently earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine of the last ten years and ranking 43rd out of 690 elementary schools statewide.

What truly sets Chackbay apart is its exceptional and consistent academic performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates soared to 92% in Mathematics and 90% in English Language Arts, far exceeding both district and state averages. This isn't a one-year fluke; the school has maintained high 80s to low 90s proficiency in these subjects for four years. For context, while nearby Bayou Boeuf Elementary School (just 0.81 miles away) is also a 5-star school, Chackbay holds a slight edge in Math (92% vs. 87%). Another standout metric is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.5%—less than half the district rate of 24.6% and the state average of 22.5%. This is a powerful indicator of strong family engagement and a positive school culture, especially when compared to nearby schools like Schriever Elementary School (29.3%) and Labadieville Primary School (28.2%).

Chackbay also demonstrates a strong ability to support all its students effectively. The school earns a 4-star rating for its work with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide—a significant achievement that shows the school is closing opportunity gaps. While Social Studies (76% proficiency) is its lowest-scoring subject, it still far outpaces the state average of 55%. The school's stability is a core strength; its state ranking has remained within a narrow band (88th to 96th percentile) for a decade, never dropping below 4 stars. This consistency signals strong leadership and effective teaching, a stark contrast to schools like W.S. Lafargue Elementary School, which has seen ratings swing from 1 to 2 stars in recent years.

If your child has a disability like Asperger's, Autism, or a reading or learning disability this is the worst school to send them to! They do not try to help the child at all. They are not set up for children with needs of any kind. Close Quote
