Raceland Middle School

Summary:

Raceland Middle School is a public middle school serving around 300 students in grades 6-8 in Raceland, Louisiana, which is part of the Lafourche Parish school district. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Raceland Middle School's student body is 46.67% White, 38% African American, 6.67% Hispanic, and 8.66% other races/ethnicities, which is more diverse than schools like Sixth Ward Middle School and Lockport Middle School, which have student populations that are over 80% White. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is lower than the Lafourche Parish and Louisiana state averages, with 58% of students proficient or better in Math compared to 70% and 59% respectively, though its English Language Arts performance of 73% proficient or better was higher than the state average of 69%.

Raceland Middle School's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from 132nd out of 449 Louisiana middle schools (4 stars) in 2018-2019 to 301st out of 460 (2 stars) in 2021-2022, before rebounding to 194th out of 449 (3 stars) in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students and African American students generally outperforming their male and White counterparts, respectively. These challenges, along with the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggest that Raceland Middle School has room for improvement to provide a high-quality learning environment for all its 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.
