Summary:
Zip code 70449 is home to a single school, Maurepas School, a small, rural institution serving Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade within the Livingston Parish school district, which is ranked 15th out of 116 districts in Louisiana.
Despite being classified as an "Alternative" school and having a high economic disadvantage rate (83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch), Maurepas School is a standout performer in several academic areas. It consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts (76% proficiency vs. 70% state) and Social Studies (67% vs. 55% state). Its high school End-of-Course exam results are exceptional, with 91% proficiency in Algebra I and 92% in English I, far exceeding state benchmarks. The school also boasts a 0.0% dropout rate, well below the state average of 3.1%. However, the school's graduation rate (82.6%) is lower than the district (92.8%) and state (85.0%), suggesting students may take longer than four years to graduate. A key weakness is Biology, where only 47% of students are proficient, compared to 60% statewide.
With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5:1, Maurepas School offers a highly personalized learning environment. While chronic absenteeism (15.6%) is higher than the district average (13.3%), it remains below the state average (22.5%). Grade-level math performance shows volatility, with strong results in 6th grade (84%) but struggles in 5th and 8th grade (both 46%). Overall, this school demonstrates that a small, alternative setting can produce elite academic outcomes in core subjects, though it faces challenges in specific areas like science and math transitions.
