Mamou Junior High

Q: Is Mamou Junior High a good school?

Mamou Junior High ranks 261 st of 449 Louisiana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mamou Junior High is a public middle school serving approximately 400 students in grades 5-8 in Mamou, Louisiana. The school is part of the Evangeline Parish School District, which is ranked 43 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mamou Junior High is part of a moderately performing district, the school itself lags behind both the parish and state averages in academic performance. On the 2023-2024 LEAP tests, the school's math proficiency rate was just 41%, compared to 55% for Evangeline Parish and 59% for the state. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 62%, compared to 69% for the parish and state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with the school ranking 281 out of 333 Louisiana middle schools for African American students, 131 out of 175 for special education students, and 268 out of 444 for low socioeconomic status students.

Compared to nearby middle schools like Oakdale Middle School, Church Point Middle School, and Eunice Junior High School, Mamou Junior High's academic performance lags behind, with lower proficiency rates and overall rankings. The school's declining performance, racial disparities, and high percentage of students from low-income families suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality education.

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.
