Summary

B. Edward Boudreaux Middle School in Baldwin, LA, is a small, rural school serving about 150 students in grades 6-8 within the St. Mary Parish district, where 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, where 100% of students taking the End-of-Course exam have scored proficient or better for four consecutive years—a feat unmatched by nearby schools like Patterson Junior High School (which also hit 100% in 2024-2025) and far exceeding district and state averages in the low-to-mid 60s. The school also excels in serving its African American students, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide in 2024-2025. However, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism at 27.3% (higher than the district's 23.0% and state's 22.5%) and a significant drop in 8th-grade math proficiency (41% vs. state average of 52%). Overall, the school has shown a positive trend, earning 3-star ratings in the last two complete school years after years of 2-star ratings.

Compared to nearby schools, B. Edward Boudreaux outperforms Franklin Junior High School (12th percentile, 1-star) with much higher ELA proficiency (72% vs. 36%) and a 0% dropout rate. It is similar in performance to Patterson Junior High, though Patterson has lower chronic absenteeism (17.9%) and poverty (75.9%). Against Belle Place Middle School in the Iberia Parish district (74th percentile, 4-star), B. Edward Boudreaux lags in core subjects (e.g., 66% vs. 77% in Math), despite having smaller class sizes (11.9:1 student-teacher ratio). The school's small class sizes provide a strong foundation for targeted interventions to address its challenges, particularly in 8th-grade math and chronic absenteeism.
