St. Martinville Junior High School

Summary:

St. Martinville Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Saint Martinville, Louisiana, with an enrollment of 385 students. The school is part of the St. Martin Parish school district, which is ranked 45 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key differentiating factor for St. Martinville Junior High is its higher percentage of African American students (56.62%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 20.59% to 68.42% African American. However, the school generally underperforms compared to state and district averages on LEAP tests for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in Mathematics (41%) was significantly lower than the state (59%) and district (56%) averages. Additionally, St. Martinville Junior High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana middle schools, with a ranking between 265-333 out of 449-465 schools over the past several years.

When compared to other nearby middle schools in the St. Martin Parish and Lafayette Parish districts, St. Martinville Junior High generally underperforms on key metrics like test scores and school rankings. For example, Breaux Bridge Junior High and Youngsville Middle School, which are also in the St. Martin Parish district, outperform St. Martinville Junior High on most measures. The high percentage of students (74.81% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that St. Martinville Junior High serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
