Crowley Middle School

Summary:

Crowley Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Crowley, Louisiana, with a student population of 449. The school is part of the Acadia Parish school district, which is ranked 28 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Crowley Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools over the past 10 years, with its performance on LEAP tests significantly below the Acadia Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grades and subjects. The school struggles to perform well for its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools for female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and White students. Crowley Middle School's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic and White student populations.

Compared to other middle schools in the Acadia Parish district and the surrounding region, such as Church Point Middle, Iota Middle, and North Vermilion Middle, Crowley Middle School stands out as a significantly lower-performing school. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.81% to 83.3% over the past 3 years, and the relatively high student-teacher ratio of around 20:1 suggest that factors such as socioeconomic status and resource allocation may be contributing to the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
