Lafourche Parish

Summary:

The Lafourche Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 30 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district, including Bayou Community Academy Charter School, which ranked 10th out of 666 Louisiana elementary schools, and Chackbay Elementary School, North Larose Elementary School, and Lockport Upper Elementary School, all of which ranked in the top 61 elementary schools in the state. At the middle school level, Sixth Ward Middle School stood out as an exceptional performer, ranking 20th out of 447 Louisiana middle schools.

However, the district also has some lower-performing schools, such as W.S. Lafargue Elementary School and Raceland Middle School, which had lower rankings and proficiency rates. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which was a consistent issue across all schools, and providing targeted support to struggling schools could help the district continue to improve student outcomes.
