Summary

Rusheon Middle School in Bossier City, LA, serves 583 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Bossier Parish school district, which ranks in the top third of Louisiana districts. However, the school itself has faced significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of Louisiana middle schools for the past six years. Over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 14.6:1.

The most critical issue at Rusheon is chronic absenteeism, which reached 41.4% in the 2024-2025 school year—nearly 1.5 times higher than the next highest Bossier peer, Greenacres Middle School (28.3%), and more than double the rate at Cope Middle School (16.8%). This absenteeism is strongly linked to low academic achievement: Rusheon's math proficiency (31%) is roughly half that of Greenacres (59%), and its English Language Arts proficiency (52%) lags 19-24 points behind other Bossier middle schools. While the school struggles overall, it has a bright spot in advanced math—100% of students who took the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, compared to 73% district-wide. Additionally, the school's dropout rate (0.2%) is significantly lower than the district (1.5%) and state (3.1%) averages, showing it retains students despite other challenges.

Compared to nearby schools in the Caddo Parish district, Rusheon performs similarly to Ridgewood Middle School (10th percentile) and Linear/Northside Middle School (5th percentile). However, just six miles away, Caddo Parish Middle Magnet School ranks in the 99th percentile with 100% proficiency in math and ELA, highlighting stark educational inequality in the region. For parents, the key takeaway is that Rusheon faces deep-rooted challenges with attendance and academics, but its strong advanced math program and low dropout rate offer foundations for improvement.
