Belle Rose Middle School

Summary:

Belle Rose Middle School is a public middle school in Belle Rose, Louisiana, serving 124 students in grades 5-8 and part of the Assumption Parish school district, which is ranked 67 out of 122 districts in the state.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.68%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance is consistently in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools, ranking between 341-392 out of 449-465 schools over the past 5 years. Belle Rose Middle School's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the Assumption Parish and Louisiana state averages, and its performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students, is also significantly lower than the state averages for those subgroups. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.69% to 81.45% over the past 3 years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other middle schools in the Ascension Parish and Assumption Parish districts, Belle Rose Middle School's academic performance is significantly lower. For example, Napoleonville Middle School, which is only 7.8 miles away, consistently outperforms Belle Rose Middle School in LEAP proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's declining statewide ranking and low proficiency rates suggest the need for comprehensive interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the 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.
