Summary

Village East Elementary School in Houma, LA, serves 400 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which ranks in the top 22% of Louisiana districts.

Village East is a school on the rise, having climbed from the 19th percentile statewide a decade ago to the 46th percentile today. However, it still lags behind many nearby schools. For example, Mulberry Elementary and Bourg Elementary both achieve 5-star ratings with math proficiency rates above 87%, compared to Village East's 66%. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 22.8% is more than double the rate at Mulberry (11.5%). The school also faces a notable drop in performance between 3rd and 4th grade—3rd graders meet state averages in math and social studies, but 4th graders fall well below in all subjects, with social studies proficiency at just 34% versus the state's 58%.

Despite these hurdles, Village East has a standout strength: it ranks in the 91st percentile statewide for serving English Language Learner students. An interesting comparison is Grand Caillou Elementary, which achieves 4-star status and 90% math proficiency despite having even higher chronic absenteeism (30.6%) and a similar percentage of students from low-income households. This suggests that Village East's challenges go beyond poverty and attendance, pointing to potential areas for growth in instruction and school culture. For parents, Village East offers a school that is improving and has clear strengths, but it may not yet match the academic outcomes of its highest-performing neighbors.
