Summary

Raceland Middle School is a public middle school located in Raceland, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 317 students. The school is part of the Lafourche Parish school district, which is ranked 16th out of 118 districts in Louisiana and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Raceland Middle School has shown a mixed performance in academic test scores compared to the Lafourche Parish and Louisiana state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the state average in both Mathematics (63% proficient or better vs. 60%) and English Language Arts (77% proficient or better vs. 70%), but underperformed the Lafourche Parish average in both subjects. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with the school ranking between 132nd and 301st out of 449-465 Louisiana middle schools in the past 10 years, and receiving 2-4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. Raceland Middle School's performance is generally lower than that of some nearby schools in the Lafourche Parish district, such as Sixth Ward Middle School and Lockport Middle School, which have consistently higher academic test scores and rankings. However, Raceland Middle School outperforms other nearby schools in the Terrebonne Parish district, such as Grand Caillou Middle School and Oaklawn Middle School, in both academic test scores and overall rankings.

Raceland Middle School has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.5% to 4.3% in recent years, and high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 26.2% in the past few years. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 56.7% to 76.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which may contribute to the school's mixed academic performance and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.8 to 17 students per teacher in recent years, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
