Summary

Raceland Middle School is a public school in Raceland, LA, serving 289 students in grades 6-8 within the Lafourche Parish district, where about 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 35th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026—a much steeper improvement than any nearby school. For example, while Sixth Ward Middle School and Lockport Middle School are high-performing (90th+ percentile), they have plateaued, and Thibodaux Middle School has declined. Raceland Middle School excels in Social Studies, with 67% of students proficient in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 55% and outperforming most comparable schools like Grand Caillou Middle School and Oaklawn Middle School. It also ranks 2nd out of 25 schools statewide for supporting homeless students, earning a 5-star rating—a strength not seen in nearby schools. However, chronic absenteeism is a growing concern at 28.7%, higher than the district (24.6%) and state (22.5%) averages, and notably above Lockport (22.6%) and Sixth Ward (21.6%).

Inside the school, 7th graders significantly outperform their peers, with 81% proficient in Math versus 62% for 6th and 57% for 8th graders, suggesting a strong instructional team at that grade level. A persistent gender gap exists, with female students ranking in the 69th percentile and males in the 58th percentile. Overall, Raceland Middle School is a solid mid-tier performer in Lafourche Parish, comparable to Bayou Blue Middle School (74th percentile), but its rapid improvement—like a 27-percentage-point gain in Math proficiency over three years—makes it a rising star worth watching.
