Summary

Evergreen Junior High School in Houma, LA, serves 622 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which ranks in the top 22% of districts in Louisiana.

Evergreen Junior High stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) program, with 77% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—outperforming both the district (76%) and state (70%) averages. The school also boasts a very low dropout rate of just 1.2%, far below the district average of 3.9%. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 31.3%, notably higher than the district (26.7%) and state (22.5%) averages. This is a key area of concern for parents to be aware of. Academically, the school shows a clear split: while ELA is a strength, math proficiency is a relative weakness at 60%, which is below the district average of 69%. When compared to its closest rival, Houma Junior High School, Evergreen has a slightly lower overall ranking (57th vs. 64th percentile) and higher chronic absenteeism, but it does edge ahead in ELA scores (77% vs. 75%).

One of the most interesting findings is Evergreen’s exceptional support for its homeless student population, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that no other nearby school matches. The school also performs well for English Language Learner students. However, support is inconsistent, as the school struggles with Multi-racial and Special Education students. Despite these challenges, Evergreen has shown a clear upward trajectory from a low point in 2017-2018, demonstrating resilience and steady improvement in its overall academic standing.
