Summary

Scott M. Brame Middle School in Alexandria, LA, serves 709 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Rapides Parish school district, which ranks in the top 25% of districts statewide.

Brame stands out as a strong academic choice within Alexandria, significantly outperforming the two closest magnet schools, Arthur F. Smith Middle Magnet School and Alexandria Middle Magnet School, by roughly 20-25 percentage points in math, ELA, and social studies proficiency. The school has a remarkable track record in advanced math, with 100% of students passing the Algebra I end-of-course exam for two consecutive years, far exceeding district and state averages. Brame also excels with its English Language Learner students, ranking 5th out of 63 schools statewide for this subgroup. However, the school trails the junior high schools in nearby Pineville, such as Tioga Junior High School and Pineville Junior High School, which have higher overall proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

While Brame has shown long-term improvement from a low point in 2017-2018, its state ranking has plateaued in recent years. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, with 23.7% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year, higher than the district and state averages and notably worse than its higher-performing Pineville counterparts. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Internally, 7th graders consistently outperform 6th and 8th graders across all subjects, suggesting a particularly effective teaching team or cohort. Overall, Brame offers a solid middle-ground option with standout programs in advanced math and ELL support, though addressing attendance will be crucial for continued growth.
