Summary

Grand Caillou Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 384 students in grades PK-4 in Houma, Louisiana, which is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in math and English language arts.

One of Grand Caillou Elementary's key strengths is its ability to serve diverse student populations. The school ranks in the top 15-35 schools in Louisiana for Hispanic, Native American, and low-socioeconomic status students, and it also performs well for African American students, ranking in the top 34 schools in the state. This indicates that the school is effectively meeting the needs of traditionally underserved groups. While the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 37.6% in 2023-2024, this rate is still lower than the district and state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Terrebonne Parish district, Grand Caillou Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with nearby schools like Southdown Elementary, Legion Park Elementary, and Village East Elementary lagging behind in both academic proficiency and overall school rankings. The school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than nearby schools, highlights the socioeconomic challenges faced by the Grand Caillou community.
