Stephensville Elementary School

Summary:

Stephensville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Morgan City, Louisiana, serving 124 students in grades PK-8. 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.

Stephensville Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Louisiana, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's students significantly outperform state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, with 87% of students proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 59% statewide and 56% in the district. However, Stephensville Elementary has a predominantly white student population, over 90% in recent years, which is notably different from the more diverse nearby schools like Hattie A. Watts Elementary School and J.S. Aucoin Elementary School. Additionally, Stephensville has a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35% to 56%, compared to 65% to 82% at the nearby schools.

Stephensville Elementary's consistent academic excellence and strong performance on standardized tests are impressive, but the significant differences in racial and socioeconomic composition between the school and its neighbors raise questions about educational equity and access in the region. It would be important to further investigate the factors contributing to these disparities to ensure that all students in the Assumption Parish, Terrebonne Parish, and St. Mary Parish have access to high-quality educational opportunities.

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.
