Summary:
There are 15 elementary schools in the Terrebonne Parish school district, serving grades PK through 6, with the district itself ranking in the top 25% of Louisiana districts and earning a 4-star rating.
The standout schools in the area are Mulberry Elementary School, Bourg Elementary School, and Dularge Elementary School, all of which have earned a 5-star rating for three consecutive years. Mulberry is the largest school in the district with 789 students and ranks in the top 6% of all Louisiana elementary schools, achieving the highest test scores in every subject (93% proficient in ELA, 87% in Math). Dularge, the smallest of the top performers with 244 students, boasts the highest Math proficiency in the district at 90%. In contrast, Southdown Elementary School, Legion Park Elementary School, and Village East Elementary School have consistently received 2-star ratings and struggle with low academic performance, with Southdown having the lowest test scores in the district (57% Math, 67% ELA).
A key finding is that Grand Caillou Elementary School defies expectations by achieving the highest Math proficiency (90%) and a 4-star rating despite having the second-highest poverty rate (90.28%) and the highest chronic absenteeism (30.6%) in the district. Meanwhile, Mulberry Elementary stands out as the district's crown jewel, combining the lowest poverty rate (48.54%), the lowest chronic absenteeism (11.5%), and the highest test scores across all subjects. Social Studies is a district-wide weakness, with the average proficiency (59%) only slightly above the state average, and several schools like Village East (41%) and Southdown (45%) falling well below it.
