Summary

St. Martinville Senior High School is a public high school serving 585 students in grades 9-12 in Saint Martinville, Louisiana, which is part of the St. Martin Parish school district. While the district is ranked 58 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating, St. Martinville Senior High School itself has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average academic performance.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30-40% of Louisiana high schools, white students perform very poorly, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of schools. Special education students also perform below average. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 35.3% over the past few years, significantly above the state average. These factors likely contribute to the school's overall academic underperformance, with test scores generally below the state and district averages across all subject areas.

In comparison to nearby schools, Breaux Bridge High School, which is in the same district, has similar demographics but outperforms St. Martinville Senior High School on most metrics. Furthermore, the nearby David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy and Edward J. Sam Accelerated School of Lafayette, which are public magnet schools, significantly outperform St. Martinville Senior High School across the board, with much higher test scores, graduation rates, and rankings.
