Summary

West Feliciana Middle School in Saint Francisville, LA, serves 506 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the top-rated West Feliciana Parish school district, which ranks 7th in the state. The school has maintained a strong 4-star rating for the past decade, with a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.6:1—significantly better than nearby schools like Northwestern Middle School and Copper Mill Elementary/Middle School, both of which have ratios around 13.4:1. This means your child is likely to receive more individualized attention here. Additionally, the school boasts exceptional chronic absenteeism rates (13.6% versus the state average of 22.5%), reflecting a positive school culture and strong family engagement.

Academically, West Feliciana Middle School shines in English Language Arts (ELA), with consistent proficiency rates between 79% and 82% over the last four years. Social Studies is a hidden strength, with 68% of all students proficient in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 55%. However, there is a notable "8th grade math dip"—while 6th and 7th graders achieve 73-74% proficiency in math, 8th graders drop to just 58%. This suggests a need for targeted support as students transition to more advanced concepts. The school also serves a student population where about 42% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating moderate economic diversity.

While the school performs well overall, there are important equity considerations. White students rank in the 83rd percentile statewide, but students from low socioeconomic backgrounds rank only in the 54th percentile—a 29-point gap. Similarly, the school's effectiveness for African American students has declined from the 72nd percentile to the 55th percentile in recent years. These gaps suggest that the school's strong average performance may mask challenges for certain groups. For parents, this means West Feliciana offers a stable, well-supported environment with excellent attendance and small class sizes, but it should focus on ensuring all students, regardless of background, receive the support they need to succeed.
