Original Research by School Decision on Honduras Elementary School
Honduras Elementary School is a regular public school in Houma, Louisiana, serving students from Pre‑Kindergarten through fourth grade. It is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district. For a family considering this school, the picture is built from state assessment results, student demographics, housing context, and recent district‑level changes.
The school’s academic performance on Louisiana’s LEAP 2025 assessments mixes areas of relative strength with subjects where proficiency rates are lower. In English language arts, third‑grade students recorded a proficiency rate near half of those tested, and fourth‑grade students were slightly below that mark. Math results were similar: about two in five third‑graders scored proficient or above, and fourth‑graders came in at about the same level. Science performance was lower, with roughly a quarter of third‑graders and a third of fourth‑graders reaching the proficient threshold. Social studies scores from the prior school year were lower still. Because the school serves only through fourth grade, there is no high school graduation rate to consider, and no results for middle or high school subjects. A parent may want to discuss these patterns with the school directly and ask about support for students who are not yet meeting proficiency benchmarks, particularly in science and social studies.
The student body reflects the diversity of the surrounding community. Hispanic students make up the largest share, followed by Black students, White students, and smaller populations of students who identify as two or more races or as American Indian or Alaska Native. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced‑price lunch. Data on students with Individualized Education Programs and English learners was not available, which is a gap worth noting if a child needs those supports; a family should ask the school about its special education and English learner services directly.
Honduras Elementary is a neighborhood school in Houma, a city that serves as the parish seat and commercial center for Terrebonne Parish. The local economy is rooted in oil and gas, shipbuilding, and commercial fishing. Houma was struck directly by Hurricane Ida in 2021, and recovery has been ongoing. Housing in the area is relatively affordable compared to national and state benchmarks, and home values have declined over the past year. The district’s school board approved an elementary rezoning plan effective for the 2024‑2025 school year to address declining enrollment and balance class sizes, so families should verify their attendance zone. The district is also facing a projected budget deficit for the coming year and has discussed potential school closures and program cuts, which could affect school‑level resources and offerings.
Student composition data shows a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds, with a high share of students from low‑income households. The school is not a charter school, and its magnet status was not indicated in the available data. No information was provided about program offerings such as gifted education, arts, or after‑school activities. A family interested in enrichment options beyond the core curriculum should ask the school what is available.
Honduras Elementary is a small‑to‑mid‑sized elementary school in a district navigating enrollment shifts and financial pressures. Its academic picture shows pockets of solid performance in English language arts and math alongside weaker science and social studies results. The school’s strengths are best assessed in conversation with current staff and by visiting the campus.
