Summary:
Zip code 70354, serving the community of Galliano, Louisiana, is home to a single school: Galliano Elementary School, which educates 383 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the high-performing Lafourche Parish school district.
Galliano Elementary School is a solid, above-average school with a consistent 3-star rating and a state ranking that has remained stable around the 60th percentile over the past three years. While the school generally meets or exceeds state averages in core subjects—with 69% proficiency in Math (state: 62%), 70% in English Language Arts (state: 70%), and 64% in Social Studies (state: 55%)—it trails its own district in Math and ELA by 7 and 9 percentage points, respectively. A notable bright spot is the school's 5th-grade Social Studies performance, where 74% of students were proficient, significantly outpacing both the district (62%) and the state (55%). The school serves a population where 74.15% of students are economically disadvantaged, and despite this challenge, academic results remain on par with or above state averages. However, chronic absenteeism stands at 28.2%, higher than both the district (24.6%) and state (22.5%) averages, which is a key area for improvement.
For parents, Galliano Elementary School offers a reliable and stable educational environment within a top-tier district. The school demonstrates particular strength in Social Studies, especially for older elementary students, while Math and ELA performance, though above state averages, has room to grow to match district excellence. The high rate of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism are important factors to consider, but the school's consistent academic performance suggests effective support for its students. Overall, this is a steady, above-average elementary school that provides a solid foundation for young learners in the Galliano area.
