St. Tammany Junior High School

Summary:

St. Tammany Junior High School is a public middle school located in Slidell, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 793 students. The school is part of the St. Tammany Parish school district, which is ranked 21 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While St. Tammany Junior High School has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (63.56%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, lags behind the district and state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in mathematics was 41% compared to 70% for the district and 59% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has consistently been in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. This places it behind many of the nearby schools in the district, such as Mandeville Middle, Lake Harbor Middle School, and Boyet Junior High School.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and multi-racial students performing relatively well, while African American, white, and low-socioeconomic status students lag behind their peers in the district and state. Additionally, St. Tammany Junior High School has a high percentage of students (68.22% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the surrounding schools. These factors, combined with the school's declining academic performance over the past several years, suggest that St. Tammany Junior High School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
