Summary

Fisher Middle/High School in Marrero, LA, is a public school serving 498 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Jefferson Parish district, and it stands out as a high-performing option in an area where many nearby schools struggle. Despite 61% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Fisher has earned a 4 or 5-star rating for the last five years, with academic proficiency rates that often double or triple those of local peers like West Jefferson High School and L.W. Higgins High School. For example, Fisher’s Algebra I proficiency hit 90% in 2024-2025, while nearby schools typically score in the 30-50% range, and its graduation rate of 93.8% far exceeds West Jefferson’s 64.5% and L.W. Higgins’ 72.0%.

What makes Fisher especially remarkable is that it achieves results comparable to the district’s elite magnet schools, such as Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy and Thomas Jefferson High School for Advanced Studies, but without requiring a competitive admissions process. This means families can access a top-tier education without the pressure of selective entry. The school also excels with all student groups, ranking in the 90th percentile for effectiveness with low-income students, and its dropout rate of 1.0% is a fraction of the district’s 5.9% and state’s 3.1% averages.

However, there are areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 25.5%, higher than the district and state averages, which could threaten future success if not addressed. Additionally, middle school Social Studies scores (40-49%) lag behind the high school’s strong performance on End-of-Course exams, suggesting a need for curriculum strengthening in those grades. Overall, Fisher is a standout school that proves high poverty doesn’t have to mean low performance, offering a powerful option for families seeking quality education in the Marrero area.
