Summary

Stephensville Elementary School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Morgan City, LA, serving just 96 students under the St. Martin Parish School District.

This school is a true standout in the region, achieving exceptional academic results that far surpass nearby schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, an impressive 92% of students were proficient in Mathematics and 88% in English Language Arts—scores that are 30 and 18 percentage points higher than the district average, respectively. For comparison, nearby Pierre Part Elementary reached 88% in Math, while schools like Bayou L'Ourse Primary (49% Math) and M.E. Norman Elementary (57% Math) lag far behind. What makes this even more remarkable is that nearly 98% of Stephensville's students come from low-income backgrounds, yet the school has historically ranked in the top 5-10% of the state for its effectiveness with these students. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.1%—nearly three times lower than the state average—and an incredibly small student-to-teacher ratio of 7.3:1, ensuring every child gets personalized attention.

While Stephensville has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for six of the last eight years, its most recent ranking dipped to the 72nd percentile (4 stars), which may be a statistical blip due to its small size. Social Studies proficiency (71%) is a relative weakness compared to Math and ELA, though still well above the district (44%) and state (55%) averages. Overall, this school is a powerful example of how a strong school culture and targeted resources can help students thrive, making it a top choice for families in the Morgan City area.
