Summary

Neville Junior High School in Monroe, LA, serves 474 students in grades 7 and 8 and is a standout performer within the City of Monroe School District, which overall ranks in the bottom 22% of Louisiana districts.

Neville Junior High has shown a clear upward trend, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide for 2025-2026. This makes it the top school in its district and a strong competitor to schools in the neighboring Ouachita Parish district. For example, its state rank is comparable to Woodlawn Middle School (151st) and Good Hope Middle School (92nd), though it trails elite performers like West Ridge Middle School (30th). Academically, the school significantly outperforms its district average in every subject, with 70% proficiency in Math (vs. 51% district), 80% in ELA (vs. 64% district), and 66% in Social Studies (vs. 41% district). A key advantage is its low student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, which is smaller than nearby schools like West Ridge (15.4:1) and Good Hope (15.9:1), suggesting more personalized attention. Additionally, an impressive 95% of students taking Algebra I are proficient, far exceeding the state average of 62%.

While the school excels overall, chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 6.1% in 2021-2022 to 21.1% in 2024-2025, a trend worth monitoring. The school also shows a notable opportunity gap, as students from low socio-economic backgrounds rank in the 63rd percentile, while other student groups perform at much higher levels. Despite this, Neville Junior High remains a rising star in a struggling district, offering strong academics and a supportive environment that makes it a top choice for families in the Monroe area.
