Livaudais Middle School

Summary:

Livaudais Middle School is a public middle school in Terrytown, Louisiana, serving 621 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 72 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Livaudais Middle School faces significant challenges in serving its diverse student population effectively. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (59.1%) compared to nearby schools, and it consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, performing significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school struggles to support its Hispanic, White, and low-socioeconomic status students, indicating substantial achievement gaps. However, Livaudais has shown some success in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top half of Louisiana middle schools for this subgroup in recent years.

Nearby middle schools in the Jefferson Parish district, such as J.D. Meisler Middle School and T.H. Harris Middle School, perform significantly better than Livaudais Middle School across all academic measures. This highlights the need to understand the factors contributing to the success of these higher-performing schools and potentially replicate effective practices at Livaudais. Addressing the school's racial and socioeconomic dynamics, as well as learning from nearby schools, will be crucial in developing a comprehensive strategy to improve student outcomes at Livaudais Middle School.

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.
