Caldwell Middle School

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Caldwell Middle School in Schriever, LA, serves 341 students in grades 4 through 6 within the Terrebonne Parish school district, a community where 82.99% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Caldwell Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA), where 76% of students are proficient—matching the district average and significantly exceeding the state average of 70%. This is a remarkable achievement given the school's high level of economic disadvantage, making it a compelling example of overcoming socioeconomic barriers. However, the school faces a clear challenge in Social Studies, where only 51% of students are proficient, which is 8 points below the district average and 4 points below the state average. This 10-point swing between ELA and Social Studies suggests a potential imbalance in instructional focus. In math, Caldwell performs competitively within its district, with 64% proficiency, outperforming nearby schools like Oaklawn Middle School (50%) and Grand Caillou Middle School (62%).

Chronic absenteeism at Caldwell has improved dramatically, dropping from 39.9% during the pandemic to 22.2% in the current year—a rate that is now better than the district average of 26.7% and comparable to the state average. This is a positive trend for parents to note. When compared to a high-performing neighbor like Sixth Ward Middle School in Lafourche Parish, which has a much lower poverty rate and achieves 89% ELA and 85% math proficiency, Caldwell’s results highlight the systemic challenges high-poverty schools face. Still, Caldwell’s strong ELA performance and improving attendance make it a solid choice for families in the area, especially for building foundational literacy skills before students move on to junior high schools like Houma Junior High School or Evergreen Junior High School.
