St. Mary Parish

Summary:

The St. Mary Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 21 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population across a range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Bayou Vista Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with high proficiency rates in math and English language arts. Similarly, Berwick Elementary School and Berwick Junior High School also perform well, with 4-star ratings and strong academic results. While an alternative school, Centerville High School has impressive proficiency rates in English language arts.

However, the district also faces some challenges, with significant performance disparities between schools. Schools with higher rates of economically disadvantaged students, such as W.P. Foster Elementary and LaGrange Elementary, struggle with proficiency rates well below the state and parish averages. This suggests a potential link between socioeconomic status and student achievement within the St. Mary Parish district.
