Summary

Thibodaux Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Thibodaux, Louisiana, which is part of the Lafourche Parish school district. With 679 students enrolled, the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past several years, dropping from 239th out of 447 Louisiana middle schools in 2024-2025 to 344th out of 465 in 2022-2023. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars in 2014-2015 to 1 star in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, indicating below-average performance compared to other Louisiana middle schools.

Thibodaux Middle School's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are consistently lower than the Lafourche Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 52% compared to 74% for Lafourche Parish and 60% for the state, while its ELA proficiency rate was 70% compared to 79% for Lafourche Parish and 70% for the state.
