Summary

Edgar Martin Middle School is a public school in Lafayette, LA, serving 641 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Lafayette Parish school district, which ranks in the top 25% of districts statewide.

Edgar Martin stands out as a high-performing and stable school in a district with wide performance gaps. It consistently earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 25% of Louisiana middle schools, with proficiency rates in Math (75%), ELA (79%), and Social Studies (70%) that significantly exceed state averages. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Carencro Middle School (13th percentile) and Acadian Middle School (5th percentile), where proficiency rates are roughly half. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, compared to the district average of 24.0%, and rates two to three times higher at schools like Paul Breaux Middle School (54.8%) and Lafayette Middle School (46.5%). Its most direct competitor, L.J. Alleman Middle School, located just 1.63 miles away, outperforms Edgar Martin in nearly every metric, including higher test scores and even lower absenteeism.

While Edgar Martin excels overall, it shows a notable challenge with its Hispanic student population, which ranks in the 26th percentile—a stark contrast to its world-class support for English Language Learners (ELL), who rank 3rd in the state. Additionally, like many nearby schools, it experiences a common "8th grade slump" in Math proficiency, dropping from 81% in 6th grade to 60% in 8th grade, a pattern seen at Youngsville Middle School (91% to 59%) and Broussard Middle School (70% to 53%). Despite this, Edgar Martin remains a reliable, high-quality option for families, with a low dropout rate of 0.4% and a decade-long track record of never falling below a 3-star rating.
