Summary

Grand Coteau Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 264 students in grades PK-4 in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, which is part of the St. Landry Parish school district.

The school has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 282 and 577 out of around 730 Louisiana elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, Grand Coteau Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics (70%) and English Language Arts (69%) for all grades were higher than the St. Landry Parish (52% and 67%) and Louisiana (60% and 70%) averages. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups has been more uneven, with White students and students with disabilities consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools. Compared to nearby schools, Grand Coteau Elementary generally performs better than Grolee Elementary and Northeast Elementary, but lags behind Cankton Elementary, Leonville Elementary, and the charter schools Ecole Saint-Landry and St. Landry Charter School.

Grand Coteau Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10% to 30.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and also higher than most of the nearby schools. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 65.93% to 71.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing more targeted interventions for underperforming student subgroups could be important steps in improving student outcomes at Grand Coteau Elementary.
