Summary

Mulberry Elementary School in Houma, LA, is a high-performing public school serving 789 students in grades PK-6 within the Terrebonne Parish district, and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger every year since 2015, consistently ranking in the top 10% of elementary schools statewide.

What truly sets Mulberry apart is its exceptional academic performance across all subjects. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school achieved 93% proficiency in English Language Arts, 87% in Mathematics, and 82% in Social Studies—all significantly higher than district and state averages. This well-rounded excellence is rare; for example, nearby Grand Caillou Elementary School boasts 90% math proficiency but lags in ELA at 74%, while Dularge Elementary School matches Mulberry’s social studies score but has a higher poverty rate and double the chronic absenteeism. Mulberry’s chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.5% is less than half the district rate (26.7%) and far lower than every nearby school, including Broadmoor Elementary (15.4%) and Grand Caillou (30.6%). This strong attendance reflects a highly engaged student body and solid family-school connections.

Mulberry also excels in supporting diverse student groups, earning 5-star ratings for performance with female, male, African American, multi-racial, and low socio-economic status students. While the school benefits from a lower poverty rate (48.5% free/reduced lunch) compared to peers like Dularge (81%) or Lisa Park Elementary, its consistent top-tier results—unlike Lisa Park’s recent decline to a 3-star rating—demonstrate effective, sustainable practices. For parents, Mulberry offers a proven track record of academic excellence, low absenteeism, and a strong social studies curriculum that outpaces the district by 27 points, making it a standout choice in the Houma area.
