Summary

Eunice Junior High School in Eunice, LA, serves 276 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the St. Landry Parish school district, which has a 3-star state ranking.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture. It performs relatively well in English Language Arts (ELA) with 66% proficiency, tying with Plaisance Middle School and outperforming nearby schools like Crowley Middle School and Church Point Middle School. Math proficiency is also a relative strength at 58%, ahead of Mamou Junior High (49%). However, Social Studies is a significant weakness at 46% proficiency, well below the state average of 55%. The school's overall state ranking has declined from the 64th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 38th percentile for 2025-2026, a stark contrast to the consistently high-performing Iota Middle School (79th-87th percentile) just 12 miles away.

The most pressing challenge is chronic absenteeism, which affects 31.8% of students—nearly 10 percentage points higher than the state average. This rate is worse than at Plaisance Middle School (25.3%) and Mamou Junior High (24.8%), though lower than the severely struggling Crowley Middle School (48.4%). The school has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 and serves a predominantly low-income population, with 84.4% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically been effective for certain student groups, recent data shows a sharp decline in support for Special Education and African American students. Despite high absenteeism, the dropout rate remains relatively low at 3.6%, suggesting many students are falling behind academically rather than leaving school entirely.
