Summary:
In zip code 70512, there is one middle school, Arnaudville Middle School, serving grades 5 through 8 in the Arnaudville area as part of the St. Landry Parish school district.
Arnaudville Middle School stands out for achieving strong academic results despite serving a student population where over three-quarters are economically disadvantaged. The school consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 76% of students were proficient in Math (compared to 55% district-wide and 62% statewide), and 77% were proficient in ELA (compared to 67% district and 70% state). The school also boasts a very low dropout rate of just 1.0%, far better than the district rate of 4.1% and the state rate of 3.1%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.9:1, students likely benefit from more individualized attention.
However, there are areas of concern. The school's state ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from the 89th percentile to the 62nd percentile, indicating that while the school is improving, other schools across Louisiana are improving at a faster pace. Chronic absenteeism is a significant challenge, with a rate of 28.1% that is notably higher than the state average of 22.5%. Additionally, performance varies by grade level; for instance, 8th-grade Math proficiency (58%) lags behind 7th-grade Math (80%), suggesting targeted interventions may be needed in specific subjects and grades. Overall, Arnaudville Middle School is a high-performing school that effectively supports its students, though addressing absenteeism and maintaining its competitive edge are key priorities.
