Summary:
The St. Bernard Parish school district in Louisiana is home to three middle schools: N.P. Trist Middle School, Andrew Jackson Middle School, and St. Bernard Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a crucial educational foundation for the community.
Among the three schools, N.P. Trist Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking between 160-195 out of 447-465 Louisiana middle schools over the past three years. The school outperforms the parish and state averages in both math and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels, and it has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (56.3%) compared to the other two schools. St. Bernard Middle School also performs well, ranking higher than Andrew Jackson Middle School and outperforming the parish and state averages in 8th grade math proficiency.
While all three schools share a 3.3% dropout rate and a 24.6% chronic absenteeism rate, the student-teacher ratios vary, with St. Bernard Middle School having the lowest ratio at 11.4, followed by Andrew Jackson Middle School at 13.5 and N.P. Trist Middle School at 15.8. This inverse relationship between free and reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios suggests a focus on providing more individualized attention to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
