Summary

Stella Worley Middle School is a public middle school located in Westwego, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 336 students. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 73 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stella Worley Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, with low performance on LEAP assessments. In 2024-2025, only 17% of 6th graders, 26% of 7th graders, and 12% of 8th graders scored proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 60% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile for African American, Hispanic, and White student performance. Additionally, Stella Worley Middle School has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 3.3% to 8.4%, and high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching up to 26.3%.

In contrast, nearby middle schools in the Jefferson Parish district, such as Belle Chasse Middle School and N.P. Trist Middle School, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding 70% in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. These higher-performing schools serve student populations with similar socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that factors beyond just poverty, such as school leadership, instructional practices, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the stark differences in academic outcomes.
