Summary:
The three public schools serving Larose, Louisiana—Larose-Cut Off Middle School (grades 6-8), South Larose Elementary School (PK-5), and North Larose Elementary School (PK-5)—are all part of the highly-rated Lafourche Parish district, which ranks in the 86th percentile statewide and holds a 4-star rating.
North Larose Elementary School stands out as the city's top academic performer, achieving the highest proficiency rates in both Mathematics (89%) and English Language Arts (80%) in the 2025-2026 school year. It also earned a prestigious 5-star rating and a 95th percentile state ranking in the prior year, likely benefiting from its small enrollment of 202 students and the best student-teacher ratio (11.1:1) in the city. South Larose Elementary School is a powerhouse in Mathematics, with 92% of its 4th graders proficient—25 points above the state average—and an overall Math score of 85%. Larose-Cut Off Middle School excels in English Language Arts, matching the district average at 79%, and maintains a solid 4-star rating with a very low dropout rate of 0.7%.
All three schools exceed state averages in Math, ELA, and Social Studies, creating a strong educational pipeline from elementary through middle school. Chronic absenteeism is notably low at both elementary schools (17.1% and 18.2%), well below the state average of 22.5%, though the middle school's rate (23.6%) is slightly above. While South Larose Elementary has the highest rate of economic disadvantage (60.46%), it still achieves strong academic results, challenging common assumptions. A slight performance dip in Math between elementary schools (averaging 87% proficiency) and the middle school (75%) suggests an area for potential focus during the transition to middle school.
