Summary

St. Martinville Primary School is an elementary school located in Saint Martinville, Louisiana, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 448 students. The school is part of the St. Martin Parish school district, which is ranked 58 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, St. Martinville Primary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, typically between the 300s to 500s out of around 700-800 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, with a brief 3-star rating in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students and special education students performing relatively better, while the school's performance for white students and male students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom quartile. Additionally, St. Martinville Primary School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 29.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Parks Primary School, and in the neighboring Iberia Parish district, St. Martinville Primary School generally underperforms. Parks Primary School, for example, consistently outperforms St. Martinville Primary School in both mathematics and English language arts, and is ranked significantly higher in the state. The school's challenges appear to be exacerbated by its high poverty rate, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and resource constraints, as indicated by its higher student-teacher ratio compared to some higher-performing nearby schools.
