Summary

Raceland Upper Elementary School in Raceland, LA, serves 302 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Lafourche Parish school district and has achieved a remarkable turnaround, earning its highest-ever state rank in the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating.

This school stands out for its exceptional ability to drive academic success despite serving a student body where a significant majority come from low socio-economic backgrounds. In fact, Raceland Upper ranks in the 87th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with these students, outperforming its overall rank. This is a dramatic improvement from just five years ago when the school ranked in the 35th percentile. While nearby Lockport Upper Elementary School has a lower poverty rate and ranks slightly higher overall (89th percentile), Raceland Upper’s consistent upward trend is more pronounced. The school excels particularly in mathematics, with an 81% proficiency rate that beats the district (76%) and state (62%) averages, and its 5th-grade math score of 83% notably surpasses Lockport Upper’s 71%.

However, the school faces a persistent challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 27.5%—the highest among nearby schools and above district and state averages. This is especially notable because Raceland Upper achieves strong results despite this issue, while high-performing peers like St. Charles Elementary School (14.1%) have much lower rates. The school’s feeder, Raceland Lower Elementary School, shares a similar demographic profile and high absenteeism (24.3%), suggesting this is a community-wide concern. Additionally, while math and English language arts are strong, social studies (66% proficiency) is a relative weakness, and support for special education students has been inconsistent, with a dramatic drop from the 74th to the 18th percentile in recent years.
