Summary:
The two public schools in zip code 70395 (Schriever, LA), Schriever Elementary School (grades PK-3) and Caldwell Middle School (grades 4-6), serve a combined 878 students within the Terrebonne Parish district, which holds a 4-star rating. Both schools serve a high-poverty population, with an average free/reduced lunch rate of 85.3%, and there are no high schools in this zip code.
Caldwell Middle School stands out as the stronger overall academic performer, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), where it achieved a 76% proficiency rate—matching the district average and exceeding the state average of 70%. Its 4th-grade class is exceptionally strong, posting an 82% ELA proficiency rate that surpasses both district and state averages. In contrast, Schriever Elementary School excels in Social Studies with a 64% proficiency rate, notably above the district (59%) and state (55%) averages, but struggles in ELA at 58%, well below the state average. This creates an inverse relationship in academic strengths between the two schools.
Chronic absenteeism is a critical concern, especially at Schriever Elementary, where 29.3% of students are chronically absent—significantly higher than the district (26.7%) and state (22.5%) averages. This likely drives its lower ELA and Math scores. Meanwhile, Caldwell Middle School faces a sharp "middle school dip" in Social Studies, dropping from Schriever's 64% to 51%, a decline steeper than the district's flat performance. Despite high poverty, Caldwell's strong ELA results suggest effective literacy strategies are helping overcome socioeconomic barriers.
