Summary

Folsom Junior High School is a small, rural school in Folsom, LA, serving 183 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated St. Tammany Parish school district.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of all students, particularly those with special needs. Folsom Junior High is ranked #2 in the state for its effectiveness with special education students, a remarkable achievement that far surpasses every nearby school. It also ranks in the 95th percentile statewide for its work with African American students, showing a strong ability to help every child succeed. The school achieves these results with a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, which is much smaller than larger peers like Madisonville Junior High School (14.2:1) and Abita Springs Middle School (13.5:1). This small environment likely allows teachers to provide the individualized attention that drives such strong outcomes. While the school excels in math and English, social studies proficiency (64%) is an area for improvement, falling slightly below the district average (66%).

Folsom Junior High has shown consistent improvement over time, climbing from the 67th percentile statewide in 2019 to the 83rd percentile in 2026. Its math proficiency (81%) is more than double that of nearby schools in other districts, such as Natalbany Middle (37%) and Greenville Park Leadership Academy (31%). One interesting note is that the school has a higher rate of chronic absenteeism (29.8%) than its peers, yet still achieves strong academic results, suggesting its interventions for students who miss school are highly effective. Overall, Folsom Junior High is a school that delivers impressive results despite facing greater socioeconomic challenges than many of its top-performing neighbors.
