Summary:
In zip code 70390, there is one middle school, Napoleonville Middle School, serving grades 5 through 8 with 281 students in the Assumption Parish school district, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks 47th out of 116 districts in Louisiana.
Napoleonville Middle School shows a clear academic split between subjects. The school is a standout in Mathematics, with an overall proficiency rate of 64% that beats both the district (59%) and state (60%) averages, particularly excelling in 6th and 7th grades where scores are 12-13 points above the state. However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is a slight weakness at 68%, falling below the state average of 70% across all grade levels. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which may support individualized attention, and a perfect 0.0% dropout rate—far better than the district (0.9%) and state (3.1%) averages. Yet, chronic absenteeism stands at 23.2%, higher than the state average of 22.5%, and nearly 59% of students are economically disadvantaged.
A critical concern is the 8th grade "drop-off." While math proficiency is strong in 6th and 7th grades, 8th grade math drops to 52% (just above the state average of 47%), and 8th grade ELA falls to 62%—8 points below the state average of 70%. This decline coincides with the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the school, suggesting a systemic issue with student engagement or high school transition preparation. The school's state ranking has also slipped from the 65th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 55th percentile in 2024-2025, indicating a need to address these challenges to maintain its academic strengths.
