Summary

Juban Parc Junior High School in Denham Springs, LA, serves 564 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Livingston Parish school district, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide.

Juban Parc has a solid foundation but is currently facing some challenges. While the school has historically earned 3 to 5 stars, its state ranking has declined in recent years, and it now sits at 160th out of 452 schools. This is a notable drop compared to nearby peers like Denham Springs Junior High School and North Corbin Junior High School, which have both improved their rankings and now outperform Juban Parc. A key area of concern is math proficiency: only 65% of students are proficient in math, which is below the district average of 73%, and this gap is especially wide in 8th grade, where just 50% are proficient. In contrast, the school excels in English Language Arts, with 79% of students proficient, nearly matching the district average. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, at 18.0% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is well above the district average of 13.3% and much higher than Denham Springs Junior High's 9.2%.

Despite these struggles, Juban Parc shows remarkable strength with its advanced students. In the 2023-2024 school year, 100% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, dramatically outperforming the district (75%) and state (62%) averages. This suggests the school is highly effective at accelerating its top-tier math students, even as the general math curriculum needs attention. The school's support for special education students has also been volatile, ranking in the 85th percentile one year and dropping to the 56th the next. While nearby magnet schools like Sherwood Middle Academic Academy in East Baton Rouge Parish achieve higher scores with a different demographic profile, Juban Parc's Livingston Parish peers show that improvement is possible within the same context, making the school a compelling option for families who value strong advanced coursework and are aware of the areas needing attention.
