Summary

Thibodaux Middle School in Thibodaux, LA, serves 592 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the high-performing Lafourche Parish school district, which ranks in the top 16% of districts statewide.

While the district excels, Thibodaux Middle School itself is a mid-to-low performing school, currently earning a 2-star rating and ranking in the 39th percentile statewide. This places it significantly behind nearby district peers like Sixth Ward Middle School (90th percentile, 5-star) and Bayou Blue Middle School (74th percentile, 4-star). For example, only 53% of Thibodaux students are proficient in math, compared to 85% at Sixth Ward. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism (29%), which is notably higher than the district average (24.6%) and the 21.6% rate at Sixth Ward. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a high rate of economic disadvantage, with nearly 79% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school has an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.2%, far below the district and state averages, suggesting it is effective at keeping students engaged. Furthermore, the Hispanic student population has shown consistent improvement, rising from the 28th percentile to the 53rd percentile over the past two years. However, a critical area of concern is the dramatic decline in performance for Special Education students, who now rank in the 6th percentile. The nearby success of Sixth Ward Middle School, located just 6 miles away, demonstrates that strong outcomes are achievable within the same district, making Thibodaux Middle School a key focus for improvement.
