Summary

Coteau-Bayou Blue Elementary School in Houma, LA, serves 627 students from Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which ranks in the top 25% of districts statewide.

This school stands out for its remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from a 2-star rating a decade ago to a 4-star rating today, now ranking in the top third of Louisiana schools. Most impressive is its exceptional support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, where it ranked 2nd out of 82 schools statewide—a feat no nearby school matches. Despite serving a student body where 76% qualify for free/reduced lunch, Coteau-Bayou Blue outperforms both district and state averages in all core subjects. This makes it a true "bright spot" compared to nearby schools like Legion Park Elementary and Southdown Elementary, which have similar or higher poverty rates but significantly lower academic performance. The school is a direct peer to Oakshire Elementary, which has similar demographics and results, suggesting both are effectively serving their communities.

However, the school faces two key challenges. Chronic absenteeism affects 22.4% of students—better than the district average but matching the state average, and far higher than nearby Broadmoor Elementary (15.4%), which outperforms Coteau-Bayou Blue in nearly every academic metric. Additionally, while the school has historically served its African American students very well, there was a sharp recent decline in performance for this group that warrants attention. By learning from Broadmoor's attendance strategies and investigating this performance drop, Coteau-Bayou Blue has a clear path to continue its impressive rise.
