Summary

Honey Island Elementary School in Slidell, LA, serves 607 students in 2nd and 3rd grade within the highly-rated St. Tammany Parish School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating for strong academic performance over the past decade.

Honey Island stands out for its exceptional academic results, especially given its student demographics. While nearby schools like Alton Elementary and Glynn H. Brock Elementary struggle with math proficiency rates around 40%, Honey Island achieves 71% proficiency in math—matching the district average and well above the state average of 62%. Its English Language Arts proficiency of 77% also outpaces the state average of 70%. The school is particularly effective for African American students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide, and for special education students, who rank in the 83rd percentile—a remarkable improvement from just a few years ago. One of the school’s most impressive metrics is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7%, dramatically lower than the district average of 21.2% and far below neighbors like Little Pearl Elementary (35.8%) and Cypress Cove Elementary (23.1%), suggesting a strong school culture that prioritizes daily attendance.

Honey Island serves as a critical bridge between early childhood education at nearby Cypress Cove Elementary (PK-1) and upper elementary grades, and its 3rd-grade scores are a strong indicator of future success—with 71% proficiency in math and 77% in ELA, both above district averages. However, parents should note a gradual decline in ELA proficiency over the past four years, from 85% to 77%, which is worth monitoring. Additionally, the school’s multi-racial student subgroup has shown a sharp decline in performance, now ranking in the 31st percentile statewide, signaling a need for targeted support. Overall, Honey Island provides a strong academic foundation and a highly engaged school community, making it a standout choice in the Slidell area.
