Summary

Livaudais Middle School is a public middle school located in Terrytown, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 896 students. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 73 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Livaudais Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, with significantly below-average performance on LEAP tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25% of Livaudais students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 52% in the district and 60% statewide. The school also struggles with high dropout rates, ranging from 3.3% to 8.4% over the past few years, and high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 24.8% in recent years. These challenges are exacerbated by the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.21% to 56.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

In comparison, nearby schools in the Jefferson Parish district, such as J.D. Meisler Middle School and T.H. Harris Middle School, perform significantly better than Livaudais Middle School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, these nearby schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates and dropout rates, similar to Livaudais. In contrast, Belle Chasse Middle School, which is in the Plaquemines Parish district, outperforms Livaudais and the Jefferson Parish schools on academic measures, with proficiency rates well above the state averages.
