Summary

Cut Off Elementary School in Cut Off, LA, is a PK-5 school serving 395 students within the highly rated Lafourche Parish school district, where about 62.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a strong upward trend in recent years, climbing to a 4-star rating and ranking in the 71st percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, a significant improvement from its 3-star ratings in prior years.

Cut Off Elementary’s standout strength is its exceptional performance in Mathematics, with 82% of students proficient—well above the state average of 62% and competitive with top nearby schools like North Larose Elementary (89% math proficiency). However, the school faces a notable challenge in English Language Arts (ELA), where only 76% of students are proficient, falling short of the district average of 79%. This math-ELA gap is a key differentiator, as other high-performing area schools, such as North Larose and Lockport Upper Elementary, meet or exceed the district average in both subjects. The school does excel with specific student groups, including Hispanic students (84th percentile statewide) and low socio-economic status students (75th percentile), suggesting targeted supports are effective.

A major concern is a rapidly growing chronic absenteeism rate, which has surged from 6.9% in 2021-2022 to 31.5% in 2024-2025—the highest among comparable local schools like South Larose Elementary (18.2%) and North Larose (17.1%). This trend may be contributing to the ELA struggles, as literacy relies on consistent daily practice. Interestingly, nearby Ecole Pointe-au-Chien has a nearly identical absenteeism rate (31.4%), suggesting this may be a community-wide issue in the region. Despite this, Cut Off Elementary’s strong math scores help maintain its overall ranking, though addressing attendance is critical for continued improvement.
