Though still above the state average of 58%, this is lower than the scores at Tchefuncte Middle (82%) and Lake Harbor Middle (75%), suggesting a minor area for potential focus. Overall, Gayle Sloan is a top-tier choice for families in the Mandeville area, offering a strong academic foundation, low absenteeism, and a clear path to continued success at the junior high level.
