Summary

Crowley Middle School in Crowley, LA, serves 394 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Acadia Parish school district, which ranks in the top 25% of districts statewide.

The most pressing concern at Crowley Middle School is a severe chronic absenteeism crisis, with nearly half of all students (48.4%) missing significant amounts of school. This rate is the highest among nearby schools, far exceeding the district average of 29.8% and more than double the state average. This absenteeism is directly linked to the school's academic struggles, as proficiency rates in math, English, and social studies are well below both district and state averages. For example, only 35% of students were proficient in math, compared to 64% in the district. While nearby Armstrong Middle School serves a similar student population, it outperforms Crowley in every subject and has a significantly lower absenteeism rate (38.6%), suggesting that Crowley's challenges are not solely due to demographics but also school-specific factors that can be addressed.

Despite these challenges, there is a bright spot: 7th-grade math proficiency (43%) was notably higher than in 6th or 8th grade, indicating a potential effective program or teacher that could serve as a model. However, the school's state ranking has fallen to the bottom 10% of Louisiana middle schools, a steep decline from previous years. The gap with high-performing neighbors like Iota Middle School is immense, with Iota achieving 85% proficiency in English. For parents, this data highlights that while the school faces systemic issues, targeted interventions—especially around attendance—could be key to turning things around.
