Summary

Glasgow Middle School is a public middle school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 609 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 81 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Glasgow Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state tests generally below the district and state averages. However, the school stands out for its exceptional performance among Asian students, who consistently rank in the top 3-5 middle schools in the state with proficiency rates of 92-100% in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the school struggles with high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and dropout, which may be impacting the overall academic achievement of the student body.

However, Glasgow Middle School outperforms some of the other nearby traditional public middle schools, such as Park Forest Middle School, Capitol Middle School, and Westdale Middle School, which also struggle with low academic achievement and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism.
