Summary

Berwick High School is a public high school serving 469 students in grades 9-12 in Berwick, Louisiana, and is part of the St. Mary Parish school district.

Berwick High School stands out as the highest-performing traditional high school in its immediate area, consistently earning 3 or 4-star ratings from the state over the past decade. Its academic proficiency rates on state assessments (LEAP) are notably higher than nearby schools like Franklin Senior High School, Patterson High School, and Morgan City High School. For example, in Biology, Berwick achieved a 73% proficiency rate, far ahead of Franklin (56%) and Morgan City (65%). The school also boasts a strong graduation rate, historically above the state average, and serves a student population with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch (54.58%) compared to its neighbors, which range from 65% to over 90%.

Despite these strengths, Berwick faces two critical challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rate is alarmingly high at 28.8%, significantly above the state average of 22.5%, which can threaten academic progress. Additionally, while the school performs well overall, its success is not uniform across all student groups, with notable disparities in performance for certain subgroups. Addressing these issues will be key to reversing a recent decline in state rankings and ensuring continued success for all students.
