Summary

Julia B. Maitland School is an elementary school located in Morgan City, Louisiana, serving 204 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Mary Parish school district, which is ranked 56 out of 118 districts in the state.

While the school has seen some positive changes, such as a decrease in its student-teacher ratio, it faces significant challenges. Julia B. Maitland School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 26.5%, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics and social studies compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's low-income students perform better than the overall school population, suggesting the school may be providing additional support to these students.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Berwick Elementary School and J.S. Aucoin Elementary School consistently outperform Julia B. Maitland School in both mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates, as well as in their overall statewide rankings. This suggests that the school may need to examine its instructional practices and resource allocation to improve student outcomes and better support its students.
