Summary

St. Helena Arts and Technology Academy is a public elementary school in Greensburg, LA, serving 291 students in grades 3 through 6 within the St. Helena Parish school district, which is the lowest-ranked district in the state.

This school serves a community with exceptionally high economic need, with nearly all students (99.66%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the lowest percentiles statewide, currently sitting in the 6th percentile. While its test scores are low, they are comparable to other schools in the district, suggesting the challenges are systemic across the parish. For example, in Math proficiency, St. Helena (36%) is similar to O.W. Dillon Leadership Academy (43%) and higher than Independence Leadership Academy (29%). However, a stark contrast is seen with Spring Creek Elementary School, just 16 miles away, which serves a population with a much lower poverty rate (68.84%) and achieves proficiency rates nearly double those of St. Helena in every subject. This highlights the powerful link between concentrated poverty and academic outcomes.

On a positive note, the school has made a significant investment in smaller class sizes, dropping its student-teacher ratio from 19.1 to 13.7 over the past few years, now more in line with nearby schools like Roseland Montessori (12.3). Additionally, the school appears to be relatively more effective for its African American students, who ranked in the 10th percentile statewide, compared to other subgroups. However, there is a troubling decline for Special Education students, whose state rank dropped from the 11th percentile to the 2nd percentile in just two years, warranting immediate attention. Chronic absenteeism (26.9%) is a concern, though it is lower than the district average of 33.2%.
