Summary

Corporal Michael Middlebrook Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school (PK-5) in Lafayette, LA, serving 484 students in the Lafayette Parish school district, where about 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school is a solid, middle-of-the-pack performer in Louisiana, earning a consistent 3-star rating in recent years, though its statewide rank has dipped slightly to the 60th percentile (276 out of 690) for the 2025-2026 school year. What makes Middlebrook stand out is its location: it is surrounded by some of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state, such as Myrtle Place Elementary (99th percentile), Milton Elementary (96th percentile), and Woodvale Elementary (91st percentile)—all 5-star institutions. This creates a stark contrast, as Middlebrook’s academic performance is significantly lower than these nearby peers, despite their close proximity.

One of Middlebrook’s notable strengths is in Social Studies, where 61% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, above the district average (60%) and well above the state average (55%). However, the school faces challenges in mathematics, with proficiency declining from 74% in 2022-2023 to 67% in 2025-2026, and 5th-grade math scores (56%) falling 14 points below the district average. A clear pattern emerges: 3rd graders perform well, especially in math (73% proficient), but by 5th grade, performance drops significantly, suggesting potential issues with curriculum alignment or instructional effectiveness in upper grades. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 11.5% in 2021-2022 to 21.6% in 2024-2025, now only slightly better than district and state averages.

Middlebrook shows exceptional support for its Special Education students, who ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide in 2025-2026 (4-star rating), a remarkable turnaround from a 0-star rating in 2020-2021. The school also serves its African American students well (71st percentile, 4 stars), but struggles with its Hispanic and White students (both at the 45th percentile, 2 stars). Overall, Middlebrook is a solid, average school in a district with both elite and struggling options. Its biggest challenge is not being "bad," but being "average" in a neighborhood where parents have access to several exceptional alternatives. The rising absenteeism and declining math scores are warning signs that, if unaddressed, could widen the gap with its high-achieving neighbors.
