Summary

Montegut Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Montegut, Louisiana, with 204 students enrolled. It is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which is ranked 18th out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montegut Elementary consistently outperforms the Terrebonne Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP tests for Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, 79% of Montegut students were proficient or better in Math and ELA, compared to 67% and 70% for the parish and state, respectively. The school performs particularly well for its female and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 20% and top 15% of Louisiana elementary schools in those subgroups, respectively, in recent years. However, Montegut's rankings for Native American and multi-racial student subgroups are much lower, suggesting potential achievement gaps that should be addressed.

While Montegut Elementary's test scores generally exceed those of the other nearby elementary schools in the Terrebonne Parish district, such as Dularge Elementary, Honduras Elementary, and Village East Elementary, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.9% to 30.0% in recent years, which may be impacting overall student performance. Addressing attendance issues could be a priority for the school.
