Summary

Oakshire Elementary School in Houma, LA, serves 576 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which ranks in the top 25% of districts statewide. The school has a history of solid, mid-tier performance, consistently ranking in the 62nd to 73rd percentile over the past decade, and currently holds a 3-star rating (63rd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. With nearly 73% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Oakshire serves a predominantly low-income population and performs above average compared to similar schools in the area.

Oakshire’s strongest subject is English Language Arts (ELA), where 77% of students are proficient—7 points above the state average. This strength is especially notable in 3rd grade, where 78% proficiency in ELA is 14 points above the state average. However, the school shows a clear pattern of strong early elementary performance that fades by 6th grade, particularly in Social Studies, where proficiency drops from 75% in 3rd grade to 44% in 6th grade. Nearby Coteau-Bayou Blue Elementary (0.79 miles away) avoids this slump, with 6th graders scoring 76% in Math and 67% in Social Studies, compared to Oakshire’s 70% and 44%. Similarly, Broadmoor Elementary (1.23 miles away) outperforms Oakshire in every subject, suggesting these schools may have more effective strategies for upper elementary instruction.

Oakshire has made dramatic strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 27% in 2020-2021 to 20.9% in 2024-2025—now below both the district average (26.7%) and the state average (22.5%). This is a stark contrast to nearby Schriever Elementary, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.3%. While Oakshire’s overall rank has remained stable over the past decade, it has not broken into the top tier of schools in its district, like Mulberry Elementary (94th percentile). The school is a reliable, above-average performer for its demographic, but lacks the momentum to become a standout.
