Summary

Berwick High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Berwick, Louisiana, with a student population of 519. The school is part of the St. Mary Parish school district, which is ranked 56 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating.

Berwick High School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the St. Mary Parish and Louisiana state averages in End-of-Course (EOC) test scores across various subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 82% of Berwick High School students were proficient or better in LEAP/English I, compared to 66% for St. Mary Parish and 69% for Louisiana. The school also maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.7% to 93.0% in recent years, and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.7% to 4.3%.

Compared to the nearby high schools in the St. Mary Parish district, such as Franklin Senior High, Patterson High, and Morgan City High, Berwick High School generally outperforms these schools in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and student group performance. However, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may require additional attention and support to ensure continued success.
