Middle Schools in Grant Parish

Summary:

There is only one middle school located in Grant Parish, Louisiana - Grant Junior High School. This school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 190 out of 465 Louisiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 288 out of 447 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on LEAP tests is mixed, with lower proficiency rates in Mathematics compared to the parish and state averages, but higher proficiency in English Language Arts for 8th grade.

Grant Junior High School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 68.8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% for the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may be contributing to the school's academic performance and declining statewide ranking.

While Grant Junior High School is the only middle school in the district, the lack of comparative data within the parish limits the ability to make meaningful comparisons. Expanding the data set to include other middle schools in the region or the state could provide more context and insights. Addressing the school's performance challenges and supporting the needs of its student population should be a priority for the district and school leadership.
