Summary

Slidell Junior High School is a public school in Slidell, LA, serving 724 students in grades 7 and 8 as part of the high-performing St. Tammany Parish school district, where about 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Slidell Junior High has maintained a steady, average performance over the past six years, ranking near the 45th to 50th percentile statewide. However, it lags behind its district peers, especially in math. Only 57% of students are proficient in math, compared to 71% district-wide, with 8th-grade math proficiency dropping to 47%. This is notably lower than nearby Boyet Junior High School, where 61% of 8th graders are proficient in math. Social studies is a relative strength, with 58% proficiency—above the state average of 55%. The school also excels with its top math students, as those taking Algebra I achieve near-perfect proficiency rates.

The most significant challenge is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 29.1%—far higher than the district average of 21.2% and dramatically above nearby schools like Lake Harbor Middle School (10.6%) and Gayle Sloan Middle School (9.0%). Even Boyet Junior High School, located just 2.5 miles away on the same street, has a much lower rate of 18.4%. This attendance gap is a key factor in the school’s performance differences compared to its neighbors. While Slidell Junior High is a stable, average school in a strong district, addressing absenteeism and boosting math achievement, especially in 8th grade, are critical areas for improvement.
