Summary

South Larose Elementary School in Larose, LA, serves 349 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Lafourche Parish school district, where about 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has shown a strong upward trajectory, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 68th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, a notable recovery from a recent low point.

South Larose Elementary’s standout strength is its exceptional Mathematics performance, with 85% of students proficient in Math—9 points above the district average and 23 points above the state average. This math proficiency is competitive with nearby high-performing schools like Lockport Upper Elementary (85%) and North Larose Elementary (89%). The school also excels in serving English Language Learners, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for this subgroup, a dramatic improvement from the 18th percentile in 2017-2018. However, the school has a "math-first" profile, with Math proficiency outpacing English Language Arts (75%) by 10 points, while peers like Lockport Upper Elementary show nearly equal scores. Social Studies is a persistent weakness, with only 64% of students proficient, and 3rd-grade scores lagging behind district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism at 18.2% is a managed challenge, well below the district average of 24.6% and lower than nearby schools like Galliano Elementary (28.2%) and Golden Meadow Upper Elementary (32.0%). The school’s consistent improvement over four consecutive years contrasts with some peers, such as North Larose Elementary, which saw a decline in ranking. While South Larose sits in a competitive district ranked in the 86th percentile, it outperforms schools like Galliano Elementary (62nd percentile) and Cut Off Elementary (82nd percentile in Math), making it a solid, improving choice for families seeking strong math instruction and effective support for diverse learners.
