Summary

Youngsville Middle School in Youngsville, LA, serves 534 students in grades 6-8 within the Lafayette Parish school district and has a strong track record of academic performance, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. The school stands out for its exceptional 6th-grade performance, with 91% of students proficient in Math and 89% in English Language Arts in the 2025-2026 school year—figures that are among the highest in the region and significantly above the district average. This suggests a highly effective transition program from elementary school or a particularly strong 6th-grade teaching team. Youngsville also consistently outperforms district averages across all subjects, including Math, ELA, and Social Studies, and boasts a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, which is a fraction of the district and state averages.

However, the school faces a notable challenge with a steep decline in math proficiency as students progress through grades, dropping from 91% in 6th grade to 59% in 8th grade—a 32-percentage-point decline that is the most dramatic among nearby schools. This "8th-grade slump" suggests a potential curriculum gap in pre-algebra and algebra readiness, especially since the school's Algebra I End-of-Course pass rate was 99% in 2022-2023, indicating that advanced students are well-served while the general 8th-grade population may need more support. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has nearly doubled from 12.1% in 2021-2022 to 21.2% in 2024-2025, though it remains better than the district average of 24.0% and many nearby schools like Scott Middle School (33.8%) and Paul Breaux Middle School (54.8%).

Compared to top-performing peers like L.J. Alleman Middle School and North Vermilion Middle School, Youngsville is a strong school but not the top in the region. These schools maintain high performance across all grade levels, avoiding the 8th-grade slump that affects Youngsville. For instance, while Youngsville's 8th-grade math proficiency is 59%, L.J. Alleman's is 87% and North Vermilion's is 81%. The school also shows a remarkable ability to serve its Hispanic student population, which ranked in the 94th percentile statewide, but struggles with its Multi-racial student population, which dropped to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026. Overall, Youngsville Middle School offers a strong academic foundation with notable strengths in early middle school years, but parents should be aware of the challenges in later grades and rising absenteeism.
