Summary

St. Martinville Senior High School is a mid-sized high school in Saint Martinville, LA, serving 521 students in grades 9-12 within the St. Martin Parish school district, where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its overall state ranking declining from a high of the 47th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 1-star rating. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 35.5%—nearly 1.5 times the state average—and has remained persistently high for years, making it difficult to improve test scores and overall performance.

Despite these challenges, St. Martinville has notable bright spots. The school excels in U.S. History, with 61% of students proficient, outperforming the state average (55%) and far exceeding its in-district peer, Breaux Bridge High School (31%). Additionally, the school has seen a remarkable turnaround for Special Education students, jumping from the 18th percentile to the 86th percentile in just two years, earning a 4-star rating. This suggests targeted programs or interventions are working well for this group, offering a potential model for improving outcomes in other areas, such as STEM subjects like Biology (30% proficient) and Geometry (38% proficient).

When compared to nearby schools, St. Martinville faces unique socioeconomic hurdles. Schools in higher-performing districts like Lafayette Parish (e.g., Southside High School at the 84th percentile) and Iberia Parish (e.g., Loreauville High School at the 87th percentile) have significantly lower poverty rates and higher academic outcomes. However, St. Martinville outperforms its district peer Breaux Bridge High in overall rank (26th vs. 18th percentile) and in key subjects like English I (58% vs. 52%), indicating that despite similar challenges, the school has some effective practices in place, particularly in the humanities.
