Summary

Broussard Middle School in Broussard, LA, serves 465 students in grades 6-8 within the Lafayette Parish school district, and it has historically been a strong performer, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 30% of Louisiana middle schools for several years. However, the most recent data shows a significant drop to a 3-star rating and the 56th percentile, a decline that sets it apart from nearby schools like Youngsville Middle School, which has maintained a 4-star rating (77th percentile), and L.J. Alleman Middle School, which has improved to a 5-star rating (92nd percentile). This recent downturn is a key concern for parents, especially when compared to other area schools that have not experienced such a sharp single-year decline.

One of the most notable findings is that the school's English Language Arts (ELA) program remains a strong point, with 71% of students proficient, matching the state average and only slightly below the district average. In contrast, math and social studies proficiency rates (66% and 56%, respectively) lag behind district averages, with 8th-grade math being a particular area of concern at just 53% proficiency. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has been a growing issue, with a rate of 28.1% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the district (24.0%) and state (22.5%) averages, and significantly higher than at Edgar Martin Middle School (16.6%) and L.J. Alleman Middle School (14.5%). This absenteeism is likely a contributing factor to the school's recent academic challenges.

Despite the overall decline, there are bright spots worth noting. The school excels in advanced math, with 100% of students taking Algebra I achieving proficiency in 2023-2024, far exceeding district and state averages. Furthermore, the school's effectiveness with special education students has improved, earning a 3-star rating (63rd percentile) after two years of lower ratings. For parents, this suggests that while Broussard Middle School is facing some significant hurdles—particularly in math, social studies, and attendance—it still has strong foundations in literacy and advanced coursework that could be built upon to reverse the current trend.
