Summary

Legion Park Elementary School in Houma, LA, is a PK-6 school within the Terrebonne Parish school district, serving 300 students in a high-poverty area where 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Legion Park has shown a remarkable long-term turnaround, climbing from the bottom 10% of Louisiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to the 46th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. However, this recent ranking represents a plateau and slight decline from its peak at the 58th percentile in 2022-2023. A bright spot is the 6th grade, which outperforms the district average in both Math (72% vs. 71%) and ELA (84% vs. 78%). The school also outperforms nearby Southdown Elementary School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population (91.26%), with Legion Park leading in ELA (69% vs. 67%) and Social Studies (51% vs. 45%). Chronic absenteeism, while improving from a peak of 41.5% in 2021-2022 to 25.8% in 2024-2025, remains higher than the state average (22.5%) and is the highest among immediate peers like Broadmoor Elementary School (15.4%) and Mulberry Elementary School (11.5%).

Despite these challenges, Legion Park is doing a better job with its demographic than some peers, though it has hit a performance ceiling. For example, Acadian Elementary School (85.78% poverty) outperforms Legion Park in Math (82% vs. 54%) and Social Studies (65% vs. 51%), indicating that poverty alone does not explain the gap. To break through to the next level, the school will likely need new, targeted interventions, particularly in the lower grades (3rd and 4th) where Math and ELA scores are significantly below district averages.
