Summary

Mangham Junior High School is a small, rural school in Mangham, LA, serving 216 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Richland Parish school district.

Mangham Junior High stands out as a high-performing academic outlier in a district that ranks in the bottom third of Louisiana. The school has shown a strong upward trend, rising from the 16th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating for three consecutive years. This is a remarkable achievement when compared to nearby schools. For example, Rayville Junior High School, just 11 miles away in the same district, ranks in the bottom 2% of the state. Mangham dramatically outperforms its peers on LEAP tests: 72% of students are proficient in math (compared to 20% at Rayville and 47% at Richwood Junior High School), and 76% are proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 41% at Rayville and 62% at Richwood). The school also shows particular strength in 8th grade, with 78% proficiency in math and 81% in ELA, suggesting effective preparation for high school.

However, a critical red flag is the rapidly rising chronic absenteeism rate, which has nearly tripled since 2021-2022 to 25.6% in 2024-2025—worse than both the district and state averages. The fact that the school achieves high test scores despite this is remarkable, but it also suggests performance could be even higher if attendance improved. On a positive note, the school serves its students equitably, with all subgroups—including those from low socio-economic backgrounds—performing at similar levels. This is a strong indicator that the school's programs benefit all students equally, making it a compelling choice for families in the area.
