Middle Schools in St. Martin Parish

The middle schools in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana serve students in grades 6-8 and include Cecilia Junior High School, Breaux Bridge Junior High School, St. Martinville Junior High School, and Parks Middle School. While the schools share a common geographic area, their academic performance and other key metrics vary significantly.

Parks Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking 181 out of 449 Louisiana middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Parks Middle School outperformed the St. Martin Parish and Louisiana averages on LEAP Math and ELA assessments, achieved 100% proficiency on Algebra I exams, and maintained the lowest student-teacher ratio of the four schools. In contrast, Breaux Bridge Junior High School appears to be the lowest performing, ranking 326 out of 449 and earning just a 1-star rating.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates ranged from 37% at Breaux Bridge Junior High School to 62% at Parks Middle School. These disparities seem to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as the schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tended to have lower academic performance. Addressing these inequities and replicating the successful practices of higher-performing schools could benefit all students in the St. Martin Parish district.
