Summary

Bayou Blue Upper Elementary School in Houma, LA, serves 427 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Lafourche Parish school district and has shown a strong upward trend, recently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance in core subjects. In Mathematics, Bayou Blue Upper Elementary achieved an 87% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the state average of 62% and the district average of 76%. Its English Language Arts proficiency rate of 86% also far exceeds state and district averages. The school is particularly effective with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 83rd percentile for this group, which is higher than its overall rank. This is a notable contrast to nearby schools like Southdown Elementary and Legion Park Elementary, which serve similar demographics but rank much lower overall. While Bayou Blue Upper Elementary matches the Math proficiency of top-performing Mulberry Elementary (a 5-star school), it trails in ELA and Social Studies, highlighting areas for continued growth.

Despite its academic strengths, the school faces two key challenges. Social Studies proficiency, at 63%, is below the district average and a clear weakness compared to its Math and ELA scores. Additionally, chronic absenteeism stands at 19.2%, which is better than district and state averages but higher than top peers like Mulberry Elementary (11.5%). Reducing absenteeism could be a powerful lever for further improvement. Interestingly, the school benefits from a strong feeder pattern with its sister school, Bayou Blue Elementary School (PK-2), which was also a 4-star school, suggesting a cohesive educational pipeline for students in the community.
