Summary:

The Lafourche Parish school district in Louisiana serves 30 public schools, including 19 elementary, 7 middle, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, and is ranked 16th out of 116 parishes statewide, earning a 4-star rating.

The district's standout school is Bayou Community Academy Charter School, a PK-8 school ranking in the 98th percentile with exceptional test scores and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (4.4%). Other top performers include Chackbay Elementary School (94th percentile), Bayou Boeuf Elementary School (93rd percentile), and Lockport Middle School (92nd percentile). In contrast, Thibodaux Middle School (39th percentile) and C.M. Washington Elementary School (33rd percentile) face significant challenges with low test scores and high poverty rates. Among high schools, Central Lafourche High School (93.3% graduation rate) and South Lafourche High School (91.1%) excel, while Thibodaux High School (88.2%) lags slightly, with a higher dropout rate (3.5%).

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide issue, with rates as high as 34.1% at South Lafourche High School and 32.0% at Golden Meadow Upper Elementary School, compared to just 4.4% at Bayou Community Academy. Socioeconomic disparities are stark, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.47% at Bayou Community Academy to over 82% at W.S. Lafargue Elementary School and C.M. Washington Elementary. Notably, some schools like St. Charles Elementary School (66.4% poverty, 4-star rating) and Raceland Upper Elementary School (78.15% poverty, 4-star rating) overcome economic challenges. High school math, especially Geometry, remains a consistent weakness across all three high schools, scoring at or below the state average.
