Midland High School

Summary:

Midland High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in Midland, Louisiana, with a student population of 314 that is predominantly White. The school is part of the Acadia Parish school district, which is ranked 28 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating.

Midland High School has consistently strong academic performance, with proficiency rates of 89% in English Language Arts and 72% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the Acadia Parish and Louisiana state averages. The school has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Louisiana high schools in recent years, and has shown strong performance across different student subgroups. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has significantly increased, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Acadia Parish district, such as Rayne High School, Iota High School, and Crowley High School, Midland High School's academic performance is generally stronger. However, the school's lack of racial diversity may be an area for the school to consider addressing, as it could impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the student body.

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.
