Middle Schools in Terrebonne Parish

The middle schools located in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, serve students in grades 6-8 and showcase a diverse range of academic performance. While some schools, such as Montegut Middle School and Lacache Middle School, consistently rank among the top middle schools in the state, others, like Oaklawn Middle School and Grand Caillou Middle School, face greater challenges in meeting academic benchmarks.

The top-performing schools, Montegut and Lacache, boast exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts that significantly exceed the district and state averages. These schools also have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. In contrast, schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage, such as Grand Caillou Middle School, tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.

The data also reveals stark differences in the racial demographics of the middle schools, with some schools, like Montegut Middle School, having a predominantly white student population, while others, like Grand Caillou Middle School, are more racially diverse. These variations in student populations, combined with differences in school culture and leadership, underscore the complex factors that contribute to the varying levels of academic performance observed across the Terrebonne Parish middle school landscape.
