Summary

Terrebonne High School in Houma, LA, is a large public high school serving 1,346 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which ranks in the 78th percentile statewide.

Terrebonne High School stands out for its consistent academic strength in core subjects, particularly Geometry and English II, where proficiency rates have been significantly higher than both district and state averages for the past three years. For example, in Geometry, Terrebonne's proficiency rate of 75% is 18 points above the state average and a full 35 points higher than nearby Ellender Memorial High School. The school also shows notable effectiveness with specific student groups: male students consistently rank in the 72nd percentile statewide, and Hispanic students saw a remarkable jump to the 74th percentile in the most recent year. Additionally, the school has achieved exceptional results with its homeless student population, ranking in the 91st percentile (5 stars) statewide. However, the school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 33.2%—significantly higher than the district average of 26.7% and the state average of 22.5%. While this rate has improved from a peak of 45.2% a few years ago, it remains a major barrier to academic progress and is likely a key factor in the school's recent ranking decline.

When compared to other schools in the region, Terrebonne shows a mixed picture. It outperforms Ellender Memorial High School in nearly every metric, including a graduation rate of 85.9% versus Ellender's 75.8%. Against out-of-district schools like Thibodaux High School and Central Lafourche High School, Terrebonne excels in Geometry but lags in overall graduation rates—Central Lafourche boasts a 93.3% graduation rate. The most pressing area for improvement is the school's performance with Special Education students, which dropped dramatically from the 62nd percentile to the 32nd percentile in the most recent year. Addressing this decline, along with the chronic absenteeism crisis, will be essential for Terrebonne to regain its former position as a top-tier school in the region.
