Who We Are

Dutchtown Middle School is comprised of grades 6-8 with just over 650 students enrolled and 54 on-site certificated employees and various ancillary staff members who serve our campus on an itinerant basis.  We are located in the suburban area of Dutchtown, which is part of the Geismar community.  Geismar, Louisiana is a steady-growing community with many job opportunities in nearby chemical plants. 

In November of 2022, the Louisiana Department of Education released School Performance Scores (SPS) for the 2021-22 school year.  We are very happy to announce that Dutchtown Middle School achieved an overall score of 98.3 (letter grade A). This is an increase of 2 points from our previous score based on 2020-21 testing.
 

We have a variety of programs in place at Dutchtown Middle that we believe will continue to improve student learning and teaching.

• Accelerate Summer School Program
• Accelerate After School Tutoring (Begins in January)
• Implementation of Eaglevention (targeted school-wide interventions)
• Continued implementation of Character Strong Program to address Social Emotional Learning throughout the campus.
• Continued implementation of PBIS Rewards App

In addition to receiving a letter grade of A, Dutchtown Middle did receive both Opportunity Honoree and Top Gains Badge from the LDOE.  Top Gains schools are those demonstrating exceptional student progress earning an “A” for student progress, ensuring that students meet or exceed their learning goals each year. Top Gains schools must also not be persistently struggling with specific group of students or student behavior.  Recipients of the Opportunity Honoree award outperformed 90 percent of all schools across the various student subgroups: Black/African American, Economically Disadvantaged, English Learners, and Students with Disabilities.
