Summary

St. Tammany Junior High School in Slidell, LA, serves 686 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the highly-rated St. Tammany Parish school district, though the school itself currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 32nd percentile statewide.

The most pressing issue at St. Tammany Junior High is a crisis-level chronic absenteeism rate of 35%, which is dramatically higher than the district average of 21.2% and far exceeds nearby schools like Gayle Sloan Middle School (9.0%) and Little Oak Middle School (13.9%). This attendance crisis is likely a primary driver of the school's low academic performance, with proficiency rates in math (50%), ELA (62%), and social studies (51%) all significantly below the district averages. While the school shows a slight upward trend from the 21st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 32nd percentile currently, it still trails behind Boyet Junior High School (76th percentile) and Clearwood Junior High School, which serve similar grade ranges. The school also reports a notably high dropout rate of 1.9% for a middle school, compared to just 0.3% at Boyet and Creekside Junior High.

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots. The school ranks in the 60th percentile for Hispanic students, indicating effective support for this subgroup, and its Algebra I program shows a 99% proficiency rate, though this likely reflects a selective group of advanced students. The student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1 is comparable to higher-performing schools in the district, suggesting that the school's struggles stem more from student engagement and attendance issues than class size. To make sustainable progress, St. Tammany Junior High must aggressively tackle its attendance crisis, which is the most critical factor holding it back from reaching its pre-pandemic peak of the 50th percentile.
