Middle Schools in Iberia Parish

The middle schools in Iberia Parish, Louisiana serve students in grades 6-8 across three campuses. Based on the available data, Belle Place Middle School emerges as the standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Louisiana middle schools and boasting the highest test scores in the group.

In contrast, Anderson Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, ranking in the bottom 25% of Louisiana middle schools and having significantly lower test scores than the other two schools. Only 38-59% of Anderson students are proficient or better in Math and ELA, well below the parish and state averages. The data suggests a significant performance gap between the top-performing Belle Place and the lower-performing Anderson, which may be linked to socioeconomic factors like the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 85.7%.

Iberia Middle School, the most racially diverse of the three, falls in the middle range in terms of academic performance. This indicates that diversity alone does not necessarily translate to better outcomes. Overall, the analysis highlights the importance of closely examining key metrics to identify both high-performing and underperforming schools within Iberia Parish, and the need for targeted interventions to address equity issues and raise student achievement levels across the district.
