Middle Schools in Acadia Parish

The Acadia Parish school district in Louisiana is home to 4 middle schools serving grades 6-8: Crowley Middle School, Armstrong Middle School, Iota Middle School, and Church Point Middle School. The data reveals significant performance differences between these schools, with Iota Middle School standing out as the top-performing school in the group.

Iota Middle School has consistently ranked among the top 58-66 middle schools in Louisiana over the past 3 years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the Acadia Parish and Louisiana averages. In contrast, Crowley Middle School appears to be the lowest-performing school, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools and having proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

While all 4 schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address these systemic issues. Addressing the socioeconomic disparities reflected in the wide range of free/reduced lunch rates across the schools may also be an important factor in improving educational outcomes for all students in the Acadia Parish district.
