St. Martinville Senior High School

Summary:

St. Martinville Senior High School is a public high school serving 610 students in grades 9-12 in St. Martinville, Louisiana, which is part of the St. Martin Parish school district. While the district is ranked 45 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating, St. Martinville Senior High has consistently underperformed compared to nearby schools.

Key factors that differentiate St. Martinville Senior High include its higher percentage of African American students (58.2%) compared to nearby schools, its lower 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its generally lower test scores across subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, English II, and Biology. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.06% to 67.05% in recent years. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 20.3 is lower than nearby schools, this has not translated to higher academic performance.

When comparing St. Martinville Senior High to nearby schools like David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy, Loreauville High School, and Southside High School, it is clear that St. Martinville Senior High is underperforming, with significantly lower test scores, rankings, and ratings. The school's high percentage of African American and low-income students, as well as the significant achievement gaps between racial groups, may be contributing factors to its lower performance, and the school and district should consider targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges.

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.
