St. Tammany Parish School District

St. Tammany Parish School District serves 38,794 students across 55 ranked schools on Louisiana's north shore. That scale puts it among the larger parish districts in the state, offering families a wide range of campuses and grade configurations to consider when choosing the right fit.

The district's 55 schools average a score of 6.6 out of 10, which reflects solid baseline performance across the board. That average is pulled upward by a cluster of genuinely strong middle schools, where St. Tammany Parish separates itself most clearly from peer districts. Parents evaluating middle-grade options will find more high-scoring options here than in most Louisiana districts of comparable size.

Mandeville Junior High School leads the district with a 9.1 out of 10, the top score among all 55 ranked schools. William Pitcher Junior High follows closely at 9.0, and L.P. Monteleone Junior High rounds out the top three at 8.8. Creekside Junior High (8.6) and Fontainebleau Junior High (8.3) extend that depth further. Five middle schools scoring 8.3 or above in a single district is a meaningful signal — it suggests consistent instructional quality at the middle school level rather than a single outlier campus carrying the district's reputation.

For parents, the practical takeaway is straightforward. If your child is entering or approaching middle school, St. Tammany Parish offers a concentration of high-performing options that is difficult to match elsewhere in Louisiana. The district-wide average of 6.6 still indicates room for variation across all 55 schools, so families with elementary-age children should compare individual campus scores rather than relying solely on the district average. Checking school-level data on MySchoolScout will give you the clearest picture of which campuses align with your address and your priorities.
