POINTE-AUX-CHENES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, located in Montegut, LA with about 128 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 4th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary School is a public school located in the rural community of Montegut, Louisiana, serving students within the Terrebonne Parish School District. Situated along the scenic Highway 665, the school serves as a central pillar for families in the local area, offering a foundational education in a tight-knit, coastal environment. Due to its location in a region heavily influenced by the surrounding wetlands and the Gulf of Mexico, the school has historically been a focal point for the local community's resilience and identity.

In recent years, the school has been shaped significantly by environmental challenges, including the impact of major hurricanes that frequently affect the Louisiana coast. These challenges have led to ongoing discussions and shifts regarding facility usage, student safety, and long-term infrastructure planning within the district. Despite these geographical pressures, the school remains dedicated to providing academic instruction that aligns with state standards, emphasizing its role in nurturing young learners in a unique, culturally rich, and historically significant part of South Louisiana.
