Summary

L.H. Marrero Middle School is a public middle school in Marrero, Louisiana, serving 757 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Jefferson Parish school district.

While the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools, with below-average performance on LEAP tests, it does perform relatively better on Algebra I and English I end-of-course exams. The school faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, as well as a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Interestingly, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform in the top quartile of Louisiana middle schools, bucking the overall trend.

Compared to nearby schools in the Jefferson Parish district, L.H. Marrero Middle School has a similar academic profile, but the nearby Belle Chasse Middle School in the Plaquemines Parish district significantly outperforms L.H. Marrero and the other Jefferson Parish schools. The factors contributing to L.H. Marrero's underperformance may include its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and potential district-level influences.
