Harry S. Truman Middle School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, located in Marrero, LA with about 497 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 20 teachers, Harry S.
