Summary

DeQuincy Middle School is a small, rural school in the Calcasieu Parish district serving 208 students in grades 6-8, and it has shown remarkable improvement over the past five years, climbing from a 2-star rating to a consistent 4-star rating and now ranking in the 77th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance with specific student groups, particularly its African American students who rank in the 89th percentile statewide—far exceeding the school's overall rank. Special education students also thrive here, ranking in the 84th percentile, which points to strong support systems. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.6:1, teachers can provide more individualized attention than at larger nearby schools like Moss Bluff Middle School (12.6:1) or W. W. Lewis Middle School (12.2:1). Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts, with 82% of students proficient, matching top local schools, and its 6th and 7th-grade ELA scores are particularly strong at 85% and 87%. However, social studies is a relative weakness, with 6th-grade scores (58%) falling below the district average (62%).

Compared to its closest peer, Vinton Middle School, DeQuincy outperforms it in nearly every academic metric, including math (75% vs. 65%), ELA (82% vs. 71%), and social studies (66% vs. 54%). The school's main challenge is a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.4%, the highest among its immediate peers in Calcasieu Parish and above the state average of 22.5%. Despite this, the dropout rate remains very low at 0.7%, far better than the district (2.2%) and state (3.1%) averages. If the school can improve attendance, it has strong potential to climb even higher in state rankings.
