Summary

Griffin Middle School Academy is a public middle school located in Lake Providence, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school is part of the East Carroll Parish school district, which is ranked 100 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Griffin Middle School Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Louisiana middle schools over the past several years, with performance on LEAP tests significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 60% statewide and 29% in the East Carroll Parish district. The school has also experienced high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, which are substantially higher than the state and district averages.

The school serves a predominantly low-socioeconomic student population, with 86.63% to 90.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the past three school years. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, its overall performance and resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students. Addressing the persistent underperformance, challenges with student engagement and attendance, and the unique needs of the student population will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational opportunities and outcomes at Griffin Middle School Academy.
