Abita Springs Middle School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Abita Springs Middle School serves 435 students in grades 4 through 6 in the town of Abita Springs, LA, and is part of the high-performing St. Tammany Parish school district.

Academically, Abita Springs Middle School is a solid performer, consistently exceeding both district and state averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA). For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 81% of students were proficient in Math (compared to the district's 71%) and 84% were proficient in ELA (compared to the district's 79%). However, the school has a notable weakness in Social Studies, where its 65% proficiency rate falls slightly below the district average of 66%. This is a key differentiator, as every other comparable school in the area—such as Lake Harbor Middle School, Gayle Sloan Middle School, and Tchefuncte Middle School—significantly exceeds the district average in this subject. The school also has a higher rate of economic disadvantage, with 47.82% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, compared to around 21-28% at those top-performing peers. Chronic absenteeism (20.3%) is also higher than at those schools, which typically have rates around 10%.

Despite these challenges, Abita Springs Middle School shows remarkable stability in its core academic performance, with Math and ELA proficiency rates remaining consistent over the last four years. This consistency is a positive sign of a stable instructional program. The school sits in a middle ground within the district—it outperforms schools in nearby areas like Covington and Lacombe but is outclassed by the highest-performing schools in Mandeville. For parents, this means Abita Springs offers a reliable, solid education with a clear area for improvement in Social Studies, and it reflects the economic diversity of its community.
