Summary

Montegut Middle School in Montegut, LA, serves 465 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which ranks in the top quartile of Louisiana districts.

Montegut Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming both the district and state averages in core subjects like math (78% proficient vs. 69% district and 62% state) and English language arts (81% vs. 76% district and 70% state). The school also boasts an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.4%, far below the district average of 3.9% and state average of 3.1%. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Oaklawn Middle School (50% math, 65% ELA) and Grand Caillou Middle School (62% math, 69% ELA), which struggle to meet state averages. The school is particularly effective at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, earning a 4-star rating for this subgroup and ranking in the 87th percentile statewide.

Despite these successes, Montegut Middle School faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has been consistently higher than both district and state averages (28.5% vs. 26.7% district and 22.5% state in 2024-2025). This issue may be contributing to a slight decline in the school's state ranking from its peak of 48th in 2022-2023 to a projected 114th. Nearby high-performing schools like Lockport Middle School in Lafourche Parish (ranked 37th) have even higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism (22.6%), suggesting that addressing attendance could help Montegut solidify its position as a top-tier middle school in the region.
