CADDO MIDDLE CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL

Caddo Middle Career and Technology School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Caddo Parish school district, located in Shreveport, LA with about 487 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 22 teachers, Caddo Middle Career and Technology School has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Caddo Middle Career and Technology School (CMCTS), located on Clift Street in Shreveport, serves as a specialized magnet institution within the Caddo Parish Public School system. Unlike traditional middle schools, the institution focuses on providing students in grades 6 through 8 with a unique curriculum that blends core academic requirements with hands-on career and technical education (CTE) exploration. By integrating vocational exposure early in the middle school experience, the school aims to help students identify personal interests and strengths, effectively preparing them for the more rigorous academic and career-focused pathways available in high school.

The school is designed to cultivate a specialized learning environment that emphasizes student engagement through practical application. Because it operates as a magnet program, it draws students from across the district who are interested in exploring various technology-based fields, such as digital media, engineering, or business applications, alongside their standard studies. By fostering a culture that bridges the gap between theoretical classroom learning and real-world career readiness, Caddo Middle Career and Technology School serves as a vital pipeline for students planning to transition into Caddo Parish's specialized high school programs.
