Summary

L.P. Monteleone Junior High School is a 7th and 8th grade school in Mandeville, LA, serving 349 students as part of the highly-ranked St. Tammany Parish school district.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Social Studies, where 81% of students were proficient—15 points higher than the district average and 26 points above the state average. It also provides outstanding support for Special Education students, who ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1:1, the school offers small class sizes that are the smallest among nearby junior highs, compared to 11.1:1 at Mandeville Junior High School and ratios of 13:1 or higher at other area schools. However, there is a notable dip in 8th-grade math proficiency, with only 58% of 8th graders proficient compared to 83% of 7th graders—a 25-point gap that is the largest among comparable schools like Madisonville Junior High School and Mandeville Junior High, which show much smaller declines.

While Monteleone is a strong school, it is not the top performer in its immediate area, as it is outperformed in overall state rankings by both Mandeville Junior High (ranked 31st) and Madisonville Junior High (ranked 42nd). A growing concern is chronic absenteeism, which has risen to 21.8%—now slightly above the district average of 21.2% and a significant increase from pre-pandemic levels. The school also shows volatility in serving its Hispanic students, with rankings swinging from the 95th percentile to the 47th percentile in recent years. Overall, Monteleone excels in English Language Arts and Social Studies, but families should be aware of the specific challenges in 8th-grade math and the rising absenteeism trend.
