About St. Amant Middle School
St. Amant Middle School serves 543 students in grades 6 through 8 in St. Amant, Louisiana.
With a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — it ranks 10th out of 1,288 public schools in Louisiana, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. That places it among a very small group of schools in a state with more than a thousand public institutions. Academic performance drives the school's standing.
A perfect 10.0 academic score and a 9.2 growth score signal that students both test well and keep improving — a combination that's harder to achieve than either number alone. A student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1 supports that output by keeping instruction manageable. Among middle schools specifically, St.
Amant ranks 6th out of 219 across Louisiana — a distinction that narrows the peer group considerably and puts it in rare company at the state level. It is also the top-rated of the four public schools serving the St. Amant community.
Families evaluating middle school options will find the combination of near-perfect academics and strong, consistent student growth difficult to match, whether comparing locally or across the broader state.
What Parents Should Know
Located in a rural area, St. Amant Middle School may involve longer commutes for some families.
