Summary

St. Martinville Junior High School in Saint Martinville, LA, serves 299 students in grades 6-8 within the St. Martin Parish district, where nearly 89% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school is on a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 28th percentile statewide three years ago to the 43rd percentile today, earning a 2-star rating for three consecutive years. Math proficiency has jumped from 34% to 54% over this period, while English Language Arts scores have remained strong, consistently near or above the state average. This recent improvement is the most compelling story for parents considering this school.

St. Martinville Junior High stands out for its exceptional work with specific student groups. The school ranks in the 75th percentile statewide for its Special Education students, earning a 4-star rating—a remarkable strength that far exceeds its overall performance. It also performs well with its African American students, ranking in the 64th percentile. However, there is a notable gender gap: male students rank in the 52nd percentile, while female students rank in the 34th percentile, a reversal from two years ago when girls outperformed boys. Social Studies is a relative bright spot, with 48% proficiency—higher than the district average of 44%—though it still trails the state average of 55%.

When compared to nearby schools, St. Martinville faces both challenges and opportunities. Parks Middle School, just 8 miles away in the same district, has a similar demographic profile but outperforms St. Martinville in nearly every metric, including a 3-star rating, higher Math proficiency (64% vs. 54%), and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (14.8% vs. 26.0%). This suggests that the challenges at St. Martinville are solvable. Meanwhile, Breaux Bridge Junior High, 13 miles away, has a similar overall ranking but suffers from a 35.8% chronic absenteeism rate, highlighting a district-wide issue. St. Martinville’s low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1 is a positive resource, but the high absenteeism remains a key area for improvement.
