Summary

Many Junior High School in Many, LA, serves 361 students in grades 5 through 8 within the rural Sabine Parish district, where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school’s biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism, which has risen sharply from a low of 7.9% in 2021-2022 to 23.4% in 2024-2025, now slightly above the state average of 22.5%. This attendance issue is likely a key factor behind the school’s recent decline in overall ranking, dropping from the 57th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 44th percentile for the current school year.

Despite these headwinds, Many Junior High has a notable bright spot in 8th-grade mathematics, where 58% of students are proficient, outperforming the state average of 52%. However, the school struggles consistently with Social Studies, where proficiency lags behind the state across nearly every grade level—for example, only 45% of 7th graders are proficient compared to 57% statewide. There are no other schools within 20 miles for direct comparison, but the school’s performance varies significantly by student group, with a 33-percentile-point gap in rankings between different student populations, indicating a need for more targeted support to ensure all students succeed.

An interesting trend is the volatility in how the school serves male and female students: in 2023-2024, male students ranked in the 60th percentile while female students ranked in the 45th, but by 2025-2026, the situation reversed, with female students now performing worse. The school reports a 0.0% dropout rate, though this metric is less meaningful for a middle school. Overall, Many Junior High School has a strong district backing but faces pressing challenges with attendance and equity that require focused intervention to reverse its recent downward trajectory.
