Summary

Haughton Middle School in Haughton, LA, serves 993 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Bossier Parish school district, which ranks in the top 41% of districts in Louisiana.

This school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in core subjects like math, English, and social studies, with particularly strong results in 6th grade. For example, 6th graders recently achieved 80% proficiency in math and 84% in English, the highest scores in the school. However, there is a notable drop in math proficiency from 6th to 7th grade, which is not seen at nearby high-performing schools like Benton Middle School. On a positive note, the school has an exceptionally low dropout rate, often at 0.0%, and has shown remarkable progress for African American students, whose state ranking jumped 28 percentile points in just two years. Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, rising to 28.5%, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Haughton Middle School is a solid performer in a diverse landscape. It is outperformed by Benton Middle School and Benton Intermediate School, which have lower poverty rates, but it significantly outperforms other Bossier Parish schools like Greenacres Middle School and Rusheon Middle School, which serve higher-poverty populations. This positions Haughton as a strong, stable option that effectively serves a more diverse student body while delivering results well above state averages.
