Summary

Mamou Elementary School is a PK-4 school in Mamou, LA, serving 392 students within the Evangeline Parish school district, where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Mamou Elementary’s standout strength is its exceptional and consistent math performance, with 75% of students proficient in math for the 2025-2026 school year—well above the district (61%) and state (62%) averages. This marks the fourth consecutive year the school has maintained a math proficiency rate of 75% or higher, a level of sustained excellence unmatched by nearby schools like W. W. Stewart Elementary (76% math proficiency but less consistency). The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 17.9%, significantly better than the district average of 25.1% and far below struggling peers like Ville Platte Elementary (39.5%) and Eunice Elementary (35.0%). However, social studies is a persistent weakness, with only 50% of students proficient—below the state average of 55%—suggesting a need for targeted curriculum improvements.

While the school’s overall ranking has dipped from the 83rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, it still outperforms many high-poverty schools in the area, such as Glendale Elementary (1 star, 13th percentile). A bright spot is the dramatic turnaround for special education students, who rose from the bottom 6th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, reflecting effective interventions. Compared to East Elementary in St. Landry Parish, which has a similar poverty rate (86%) and test score profile, Mamou Elementary shows that strong math instruction and low absenteeism can help overcome socioeconomic challenges.

I myself have attended Mamou elementary as a child and loved it, my daughter Carissa Fuselier went there and is now in 7th grade. My youngest daughter Alyssa Fuselier attends here in the 3rd grade and she absolutely loves it. Always has something good to say when getting home from school! Close Quote
