Summary

Breaux Bridge Junior High School in Breaux Bridge, LA, serves 351 students in grades 6-8 within the St. Martin Parish district, which has a 3-star rating statewide. The school has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 10th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026, a 27-percentile-point gain in just three years.

One standout strength is the school's exceptional support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide with a perfect 5-star rating—a unique achievement not matched by nearby schools. In English Language Arts (ELA), 72% of students are proficient, above both the district and state averages of 70%, with 6th graders particularly excelling at 81% proficiency. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics, where proficiency drops sharply from 66% in 6th grade to just 33% in 8th grade—20 points below the district average. This "8th grade slump" is more severe than at nearby Cecilia Junior High School (57% in 8th grade) or Parks Middle School (65% in 8th grade). Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern at 35.8%, well above the district (26.4%) and state (22.5%) averages, though it's similar to Carencro Middle School (40.9%) and lower than Paul Breaux Middle School (54.8%).

Despite these challenges, the school maintains a very low dropout rate of 1.2%, less than half the district (2.8%) and state (3.1%) averages, indicating strong retention. An interesting anomaly is that in 2022-2023, 79% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, far exceeding state averages, suggesting high-performing students in that course. Compared to peers, Breaux Bridge performs similarly to Cecilia Junior High School (36th percentile) but lags behind Parks Middle School (48th percentile), which has much lower chronic absenteeism (14.8%) and higher test scores. This suggests that addressing absenteeism could be a key lever for further improvement.
