Lafourche Parish was one of four Louisiana school systems recognized as a “District of the Rise” for showing exceptional progress in math compared to similar districts around the state. LPSD received similar recognition last fall for demonstrating the third-highest growth in math proficiency in grades three through eight on LEAP.
“This recognition is a testament to the effort of our students and the unwavering dedication of our educators,” said Superintendent Jarod W. Martin. “This achievement reflects countless hours of hard work in our classrooms and a collective commitment to academic excellence across the district. While we celebrate this significant milestone, it also serves as a catalyst for future growth. We remain steadfast in our mission to build upon this momentum, ensuring every student has the tools and support necessary to reach their full potential.”
Overall, Louisiana was number one among states in reading growth, number two in math growth, and the only state to surpass 2019 levels in both reading and math.
We are incredibly grateful for our families and our community for their continued support as we strive for excellence. Let’s keep moving forward together!

We are incredibly proud to announce that two of our amazing educators have been recognized for their excellence in teaching by the annual American Petroleum Institute Delta Chapter Teacher Award Program.
Claudia Landry of Raceland Upper Elementary School received the Chairman’s Award, and Andrea Daigle of Thibodaux High School was the recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award. Winners were selected based on their commitment to teaching, resourcefulness, professional involvement, and community service and were recognized last week at the chapter’s Teacher Award Luncheon at the National World War II Museum
.The API Teacher Award Program was established by the Delta Chapter in 1987 to pay tribute to and reinforce outstanding teaching in the New Orleans metropolitan area, including the parishes of Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Tammany and Terrebonne.
Congratulations Claudia and Andrea on your selection, and thank you for your untiring efforts in educating the students of the Lafourche Parish School District.

Keeping track of the school bus just got easier!
We are excited to announce the districtwide launch of My Ride K-12, our new school bus tracking app. With this mobile app, parents and guardians can get real-time GPS-based location tracking to find out where their child’s bus is on its route and know when they are expected to arrive at their designated stop.
When you’re ready to get started, use this link to learn more about the app, how to download it, and set up your parent account: https://www.mylpsd.com/o/lpsd/page/my-ride-k-12-mobile-app
To complete your account setup, you will need your child’s student ID number, which can be found in the OnCourse Connect app on the “Other Data” tab under “Student Info” or by contacting your child's school.
