East Feliciana Middle School

Summary:

East Feliciana Middle School is a public middle school in Clinton, Louisiana, serving 120 students in grades 7-8 and part of the East Feliciana Parish School District, which is ranked 65 out of 122 districts in the state.

Despite being located in the same parish, East Feliciana Middle School stands out from nearby schools like Live Oak Junior High and Copper Mill Elementary/Middle School in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.17%) compared to the surrounding area, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, receiving 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the East Feliciana Parish and Louisiana state averages, with proficiency rates of just 34% and 59%, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.95% to 99.49% over the past three years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's low performance. Additionally, the school's low rankings for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and Special Education students, highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these populations. By learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools like Northwestern Middle School in the Zachary Community School District, East Feliciana Middle School may be able to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for all its students.

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.
