Summary:
The Louisiana Middle School, the sole middle school in the Louisiana R-II school district, serves grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 151 students. The school is publicly funded and has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a website that evaluates and ranks schools based on various metrics.
Louisiana Middle School faces some academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. While the school's 6th-grade math proficiency is on par with the district and slightly above the state average, 7th and 8th-grade math scores are significantly below the state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26%, which is considerably higher than the state average. However, the school's science and English Language Arts proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing above the district but below the state average.
Despite the academic challenges, Louisiana Middle School appears to have adequate resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and a higher-than-average spending per student of $10,239. The school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 70.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
