B. Edward Boudreaux Middle School

Summary:

While the school has consistently outperformed the parish and state averages in English Language Arts, its Mathematics performance has been more mixed, with strong 6th grade results but weaker 8th grade outcomes. However, the school has excelled in Algebra I, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better on the End-of-Course exam, significantly higher than the parish (53%) and state (62%) averages. Notably, the school's African American students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 90th out of 333 Louisiana middle schools, while its White students have struggled, ranking 343rd out of 362 middle schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Patterson Junior High School in the same district and Iberia Middle School in the neighboring Iberia Parish district, B. Edward Boudreaux Middle School has faced more significant challenges, likely due to its high poverty rates and the unique needs of its predominantly African American student population. By learning from the successful practices of higher-performing schools and addressing the specific challenges faced by its student subgroups, the school can work towards improving its overall academic outcomes and providing equitable educational opportunities for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
