Summary

Grand Caillou Middle School is a mid-sized school in Houma, LA, serving 267 students in grades 5-8 as part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which is ranked among the top 25% of districts in Louisiana.

This school stands out for its exceptional effectiveness with certain student groups, earning a 4-star rating for its work with African American students—a dramatic improvement that places it in the 79th percentile statewide. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism: 35.4% of students are chronically absent, which is the highest rate among nearby schools and well above the state average of 22.5%. For context, nearby Lockport Middle School (a 5-star school) has a rate of just 22.6%, while Montegut Middle School (a 4-star school) sits at 28.5%. Despite this, Grand Caillou outperforms its closest neighbor, Oaklawn Middle School, in nearly every academic subject—62% vs. 50% in Math and 69% vs. 65% in ELA—even though both schools serve similarly high-poverty populations.

Academically, the school shows an unusual pattern: 7th and 8th graders outperform district and state averages in Math, while younger grades lag behind. Social Studies proficiency (46%) trails the state average (55%), but overall, the school is on a clear upward trend, improving its statewide ranking for three consecutive years. This suggests that recent efforts are working, and if the school can address its chronic absenteeism—which is a full 7 points higher than the next closest peer—it has strong potential to continue rising.
