Summary

Cut Off Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 436 students in grades PK-5 in Cut Off, Louisiana, which is part of the Lafourche Parish school district.

Cut Off Elementary consistently outperforms the Lafourche Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school particularly excels for its male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top quartile of Louisiana elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 21.9% to 30.1% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

Compared to nearby schools, Cut Off Elementary generally outperforms Lockport Upper Elementary, Golden Meadow Upper Elementary, and South Larose Elementary in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. But North Larose Elementary and Lockport Upper Elementary stand out as particularly high-performing schools in the region. Over the past 10 years, Cut Off Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting the school has been able to maintain a solid level of academic performance. The school should continue to monitor and address areas of concern, such as the growing population of economically disadvantaged students, to ensure all students have the support they need to thrive.
