Summary:
Middle-school information for Raceland-Worthington Independent covers one school, Raceland-Worthington Middle School, serving grades 3–7 with 391 students. Because it is the only school listed, there is no comparison with local school peers. The most important pattern in its 2025–2026 results is the contrast between strong grade 7 scores and sizable shortfalls in some grade 4 results.
Raceland-Worthington Middle School stands out against state results in grade 7: proficiency was 14 percentage points higher in math, 13 points higher in reading, and 10 points higher in science. Grade 4 was the clearest area of weakness, with math 10 points below the state and science 13 points below. Reading was also below the state in grades 3–5, with the largest gap—9 points—in grade 5. These differences show why a single schoolwide description can miss important grade-level contrasts.
Results changed unevenly between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: grade 7 math rose 15 points, while grade 6 math fell 18 points; grade 5 editing and mechanics dropped 15 points, even as grade 5 math, writing, and social studies rose 7, 4, and 6 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 232nd of 324 schools (28th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 94th of 326 (71st percentile) in 2025–2026; these are rankings, not test-score percentages. Other context includes a 15.6:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 47% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 11% at the school compared with 24% statewide, while the dropout rates were 1.4% and 1.0%, respectively.
