Summary

Tioga Junior High School in Pineville, LA, serves 415 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the Rapides Parish school district, which ranks in the top 30% of Louisiana districts. Over the past eight years, Tioga has transformed from a 2-star school to a consistent 4-star performer, now ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide—far ahead of nearby schools like Pineville Junior High School (70th percentile) and Scott M. Brame Middle School (59th percentile). Its academic proficiency rates are exceptional: 72% in Math, 86% in English Language Arts, and 75% in Social Studies, all significantly exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Alexandria Middle Magnet School and Arthur F. Smith Middle Magnet School rank in the bottom quarter of the state.

Tioga stands out for its outstanding performance with Hispanic students, ranking 5th out of 178 schools statewide for this group (97th percentile). The school also maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.7%, compared to the district average of 2.3% and the state average of 3.1%. However, there is a notable "8th grade math dip": while 7th graders achieve 86% proficiency in Math, 8th graders drop to 54%, a sharper decline than at Pineville Junior High (74% to 60%). Additionally, chronic absenteeism has risen from 14% to 17.9% over two years, now slightly above the district average of 17.5% but still below the state average of 22.5%.

With over 77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Tioga serves a predominantly low-income population yet ranks in the 84th percentile for this subgroup (4 stars), demonstrating effective support for all learners. This success contrasts sharply with Grant Junior High School in the neighboring Grant Parish district, which ranks in the 32nd percentile and struggles with a 32.3% chronic absenteeism rate. Tioga’s sustained improvement and strong outcomes make it a standout choice for families in the Pineville area.
