Summary

South Terrebonne High School in Bourg, LA, serves 868 students in grades 9-12 within the Terrebonne Parish school district and has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

This school stands out as a math powerhouse in the region, with an 86% proficiency rate in Algebra I and 68% in Geometry—significantly higher than nearby schools like Ellender Memorial High School (58% and 40%) and H. L. Bourgeois High School (61% and 64%). Even compared to its strongest competitor, Central Lafourche High School, South Terrebonne excels in math (86% vs. 83% in Algebra I; 68% vs. 50% in Geometry). However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 34.7%—higher than the state average of 22.5% and above Thibodaux High School's 28.0%. Despite this, the school maintains strong test scores and a graduation rate of 86.1%, suggesting that attending students perform at a very high level.

South Terrebonne shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups, with Hispanic students ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for three consecutive years and homeless students earning a 5-star rating in the most recent year. However, support for special education students has declined sharply, dropping from the 88th percentile to the 45th percentile over two years. The school's graduation rate has also been volatile, swinging from 93.2% to 81.4% in recent years, while test scores remain stable. This creates an interesting contrast with Central Lafourche High School, which boasts a higher graduation rate (93.3%) and lower dropout rate (0.7% vs. 3.3%) but falls behind in math performance.
