Summary

Caddo Middle Career and Technology School in Shreveport, LA, serves 336 students in grades 6-8 within the Caddo Parish district, where about 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

This school faces severe challenges, most notably a catastrophic chronic absenteeism rate of 58.8% in the 2024-2025 school year—nearly double the district average of 31.0% and more than 2.5 times the state average. This directly impacts academic performance, with only 30% of students proficient in English Language Arts compared to 60% in the district and 70% statewide. In social studies, just 9% of 6th graders were proficient, versus 41% in the district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-6% of Louisiana middle schools over the past decade. While the student-to-teacher ratio is a favorable 12:1, this has not translated into success, especially when compared to nearby Caddo Parish Middle Magnet School, which has a higher ratio of 16.6:1 but achieves near-perfect proficiency and a 99th percentile state rank.

Despite its name suggesting a specialized curriculum, there is no data showing career certifications or technical skills, raising questions about whether the school's unique mission is effectively implemented. The school shows a relative strength in serving homeless students, ranking in the 16th percentile for that subgroup, but performs in the 1st percentile for male and African American students. The dropout rate of 1.4% is misleadingly low for a middle school, as the 58.8% chronic absenteeism is a more accurate predictor of future disengagement. Without radical intervention to improve attendance and engagement, this school is likely to remain at the very bottom of Louisiana's rankings.
