Summary:
In zip code 70525, there is one middle school, Church Point Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 with 262 students in the Church Point area of Louisiana.
Church Point Middle School is currently facing significant challenges. The school's state ranking has dropped dramatically over the past three years, falling from the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 8th percentile (0 stars) in 2025-2026. Academic performance in the 2025-2026 school year is well below both the Acadia Parish district and state averages across all subjects, with only 38% of students proficient in Mathematics (compared to 64% district and 62% state), 48% in English Language Arts (compared to 70% district and state), and 28% in Social Studies (compared to 53% district and 55% state). A major concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 39.4%, which is far higher than the district rate of 29.8% and the state rate of 22.5%. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 81.3% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
On a positive note, the school maintains a low dropout rate of just 0.5%, which is well below the district (2.5%) and state (3.1%) averages. The student-teacher ratio is 14:1. However, the combination of high chronic absenteeism and rapidly declining test scores indicates that Church Point Middle School is in urgent need of intervention to address attendance issues and reverse the downward trend in student achievement.
