Summary

Cecilia Junior High School serves 576 students in grades 6-8 in Cecilia, LA, and is part of the St. Martin Parish School District.

Cecilia Junior High stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with an 87% proficiency rate on the End of Course exam—far surpassing the district (44%), state (63%), and every nearby school. This suggests a strong advanced math track for 8th graders. The school also shows consistent strength in 8th-grade math (57% proficient), outperforming the district and state averages, and notably exceeding Breaux Bridge Junior High School (33%). While the school has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (27%) among its St. Martin Parish peers, it still lags behind the state average (22.5%). Overall, Cecilia Junior High is the top-performing middle school in its district, but it is overshadowed by high-performing schools in neighboring Lafayette Parish, such as L.J. Alleman Middle School (86% in both math and ELA).

The school’s most significant weakness is Social Studies, where only 39% of students are proficient—16 points below the state average (55%). This gap is consistent across all grades and is the main factor preventing a higher overall ranking. While the school has been stable over the past five years, ranking between the 29th and 38th percentile, it has not shown significant academic growth. Targeted interventions in Social Studies and for specific student groups could help the school break into a higher performance tier.
