Summary

Lockport Upper Elementary School in Lockport, LA, serves 374 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-ranked Lafourche Parish school district, which ranks in the 86th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all core subjects, with 85% of students proficient in Mathematics, 83% in English Language Arts, and 73% in Social Studies—all significantly above district and state averages. While nearby schools like North Larose Elementary School and Bourg Elementary School also show strong math scores, Lockport’s balanced proficiency across all subjects is more consistent. Another key differentiator is the school’s remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 15.9%, which is dramatically lower than the district average (24.6%) and far better than nearby schools like Raceland Upper Elementary School (27.5%) and Lockport Lower Elementary School (25.7%). This low absenteeism suggests strong family-school connections that directly support academic success. Additionally, despite over half of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school excels at serving its low-socioeconomic status population, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide—a notable achievement compared to schools with similar poverty rates in the area.

While Lockport remains a top-tier school, there are a few interesting trends to note. Its state ranking has slightly declined from its peak in 2023-2024, and there has been a notable drop in performance for certain student groups. A fascinating grade-level anomaly appears in 5th grade math, where proficiency drops to 71%—the only grade where Lockport falls below the district average—compared to 95% and 93% for 3rd and 4th graders. This sharp decline is not seen at nearby Bayou Blue Upper Elementary School, where 5th graders scored 84%. Finally, despite serving the same community, Lockport Upper Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate nearly 10 percentage points lower than its feeder school, Lockport Lower Elementary School, suggesting the upper school has implemented highly effective attendance initiatives that could serve as a model for other schools.
