Summary

Upper Little Caillou Elementary School in Chauvin, LA, is a small, rural school serving 342 students from Pre-K through 4th grade within the Terrebonne Parish school district, where over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable ability to help students grow academically, especially between 3rd and 4th grade. In the most recent data, 4th graders dramatically outperformed 3rd graders in every subject—for example, English Language Arts proficiency jumped from 61% to 90%, and math from 71% to 89%. This is a much bigger leap than at nearby schools like Acadian Elementary or Grand Caillou Elementary, where 4th-grade scores are only slightly better or even decline. The school also achieves exceptional results with its low-income students, ranking in the 84th percentile for that group—far exceeding expectations for its community. Interestingly, male students consistently perform better than female students here, ranking in the 73rd percentile compared to the 64th percentile for girls, which is an unusual pattern for elementary schools.

While the school has shown strong potential, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 22.3%—better than the district average but higher than top-performing Bourg Elementary (18.9%). The school’s overall ranking has also been volatile, swinging from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 4-star in 2023-2024, and settling at a 3-star for 2025-2026. Compared to peers, it outperforms Village East Elementary (2-star) and is similar to Montegut Elementary (4-star), but its 4th-grade scores are notably higher. The school’s greatest opportunity lies in understanding and replicating the success of its 4th-grade program to stabilize performance and reduce absenteeism.
