Summary

Grand Caillou Elementary School in Houma, LA, serves 360 students from Pre-K through 4th grade within the Terrebonne Parish school district, and has achieved a remarkable 4-star rating for three consecutive years despite over 90% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The school's standout strength is mathematics, where 90% of all students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—a full 28 points above the state average and 21 points above the district average. This math proficiency rate ties with nearby Dularge Elementary School and exceeds other high-performing peers like Mulberry Elementary School (87%) and Bourg Elementary School (88%). What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Grand Caillou accomplishes it while facing a chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6%, which is higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school's instructional strategies are highly effective at helping students succeed despite attendance challenges.

While math is a clear strength, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency sits at 74%, slightly below the district average of 76%. This creates a distinct academic profile where math outshines reading, unlike well-rounded peers such as Dularge Elementary (89% ELA) and Mulberry Elementary (93% ELA). The school particularly excels with its Hispanic and low-income students, ranking in the 91st and 87th percentiles statewide respectively. For parents considering Grand Caillou, the school offers exceptional math instruction and strong support for diverse learners, with the main opportunity for growth being in early-grade reading skills, especially in 3rd grade where ELA proficiency is 64% before jumping to 81% in 4th grade.
