Summary

Carroll Junior High School in Monroe, LA, serves 348 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the City of Monroe School District, which ranks in the bottom 22% of Louisiana districts.

The most critical challenge at Carroll is an extraordinarily high chronic absenteeism rate of 53.2%, which is more than double the rate at its same-district peer, Martin Luther King Junior High School (29.1%), and nearly five times higher than at high-performing Neville Junior High School (21.1%). This absenteeism crisis is the primary driver of the school's low academic performance, with proficiency rates in math (22%) and other subjects far below district and state averages. For example, math proficiency at Carroll is dramatically lower than at nearby schools like West Ridge Middle School (87%) and Ouachita Junior High School (13.1% absenteeism). A particularly concerning trend is the steep drop in 8th-grade math proficiency, which falls to just 8%, compared to 36% in 7th grade—a decline not seen at other area schools.

Despite these struggles, Carroll shows a notable strength in its Algebra I program, where 84% of test-takers are proficient, outperforming the district (61%) and state (65%). This suggests the school can achieve excellence with a small group of students. Additionally, Special Education students at Carroll rank in the 20th percentile statewide, which is the school's strongest subgroup performance. However, the school's overall performance for its largest student groups remains in the bottom 6th percentile. The key differentiator between Carroll and similar high-poverty schools like Richwood Junior High School (which has a 13.7% absenteeism rate) is the ability to get students to school consistently, making this the top priority for improvement.
