Original Research by School Decision on Schriever Elementary School
Schriever Elementary School is a regular public school serving prekindergarten through third grade in the unincorporated community of Schriever, Louisiana, part of the Terrebonne Parish school district. With an enrollment that is modest for a school covering these early grades, it functions as a neighborhood elementary school for a small, rural community about a short drive northeast of Houma.
On the state’s LEAP 2025 assessments, which are administered only in grade three at this school, roughly a third of students scored proficient or above in math, and just over a third did so in English language arts. In social studies, about a quarter of students reached the proficient level alert. Science testing showed a notably lower share, with roughly one in seven students scoring proficient. These figures represent a single year of results, so there is no trend data yet. The school had full participation in testing. Because Schriever Elementary does not serve grades beyond third, there is no graduation rate to report; the school’s academic picture is limited to these early-elementary outcomes.
The student body is diverse. Black students constitute the largest racial group, followed by White students. Students of two or more races, Hispanic students, and American Indian or Alaska Native students each make up a smaller but present share of enrollment. A large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a high level of economic need across the school community.
Schriever itself is a small, unincorporated census-designated place with a rural-to-suburban character. It is car-dependent and lacks a traditional downtown or concentrated commercial core. Housing consists mostly of owner-occupied single-family homes, and home values in the area sit near the state average with a slight recent decline. The local economy has historic ties to agriculture, fishing, and oil and gas, and the community retains a Cajun cultural heritage. An Amtrak station provides a notable transit link, but residents typically drive to nearby Houma for shopping, services, and employment.
At the district level, the Terrebonne Parish School Board approved an elementary school rezoning plan in May 2024 that took effect for the 2024-2025 school year, so families should confirm their child’s attendance assignment. A new science curriculum was also introduced across elementary and middle schools starting in 2023-2024. More consequential for the near future, the district is facing a significant budget deficit driven by declining enrollment, inflation, and the expiration of federal COVID-19 relief funds. The school board has discussed possible school closures, staff reductions, and program cuts to address the shortfallHier. This financial pressure means the district could see changes that directly affect Schriever Elementary in the coming years.
For a family seeking a small, early-grades school in a quiet rural community, Schriever Elementary provides a focused pre-K through third grade experience. The academic results show room for growth, particularly in science, and the high level of economic need may mean less external resource support at home. Given the district’s financial uncertainty and recent rezoning, parents will want to stay closely informed about school board decisions that could affect enrollment boundaries, staffing, or program availability.
