Summary:

Julia B. Maitland School is an elementary school located in Morgan City, Louisiana, serving around 220 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the St. Mary Parish school district, which is ranked 57 out of 122 districts in the state.

While the school has a higher percentage of African American (56.36%) and Hispanic (18.64%) students compared to the state averages, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally lower than the St. Mary Parish and Louisiana state averages, especially in Mathematics. Additionally, the school's rankings for African American, male, and low socioeconomic status students are significantly lower than the overall school ranking. With a relatively high student-teacher ratio and a high percentage (70-86%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces challenges in addressing equity and opportunity gaps.

While some nearby schools in the St. Mary Parish district, such as Wyandotte Elementary and Bayou Vista Elementary, perform significantly better than Julia B. Maitland School, others like M.E. Norman Elementary and Hattie A. Watts Elementary have similar or slightly better performance. Addressing the school's challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the district and community could help improve student outcomes at Julia B. Maitland School.

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.
