Summary

J.S. Aucoin Elementary School in Amelia, LA, is a small PK-5 school within the St. Mary Parish school district, serving 237 students in a community where about 64% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school truly shines in mathematics, with 84% of students proficient—far outpacing the district (65%) and state (62%) averages. In fact, its 5th-grade math score of 90% is the highest in the entire St. Mary Parish district. The school also excels at supporting English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 11th out of 115 schools statewide for this group—a remarkable jump from just two years prior. Another standout feature is its incredibly low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.6%, the lowest among nearby elementary schools like Hattie A. Watts Elementary School (20.8%) and well below the district average of 23.0%. This suggests a highly engaged student body and effective family outreach.

While math is a clear strength, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is more modest at 73%, only slightly above the state average. The school also shows a persistent gap between male and female student performance, with girls ranking in the 77th percentile statewide compared to boys at the 63rd percentile. Overall, J.S. Aucoin has earned a 3-star rating from the state, with a recent slight dip from a 4-star rating the previous year. However, its rapid success with ELL students and exceptional attendance record demonstrate a capacity for targeted, effective change. For parents, this is a school with clear strengths in math and student engagement, and a focused opportunity to grow in reading and support for all students.
