The Louisiana Department of Education released 2025-2026 LEAP data today, and we are incredibly proud to celebrate our district’s continued academic growth and achievement.

The percentage of LPSD students in grades 3-12 performing at mastery level or above grew by two points, outperforming the state average by eight percentage points and placing our district in the Top 10 systems in the state for students achieving Mastery or Advanced. These are the first LEAP results that will be used to calculate School and District Performance Scores under Louisiana’s new Grow, Thrive, Achieve accountability model, which will be released this fall.

“Our latest performance scores are a direct reflection of the tireless work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff who continue to push boundaries and raise academic standards in every classroom,” said Superintendent Jarod W. Martin. “While we celebrate this tremendous progress, we remain deeply committed to building on this momentum to close achievement gaps and ensure continued growth and success for every student in Lafourche Parish.”

To view the entire report, visit LDOE’s website at: https://doe.louisiana.gov/about/news-releases/release/2026/07/06/louisiana-students-achieve-record-high-performance-on-leap

Individual student LEAP scores are now available for review. Parents and guardians can securely access LPSD student LEAP scores through OnCourse Connect.

Congratulations to all of our students, teachers, support staff, families and community partners on your hard work and commitment to excellence. Together, we will keep moving Lafourche forward.

A vertical, eye-level photograph showing an instructor teaching two students inside a welding workshop.  An older male instructor, wearing glasses, a dark blue button-down short-sleeve shirt with a name badge, blue jeans, work boots, and a welding helmet pushed up on his head, stands on the right. He is writing a small diagram on a large black vertical metal divider panel with a piece of chalk.  In the foreground and center, two students stand with their backs mostly to the camera, listening to the instructor. The student in the center wears a light blue button-down denim shirt, blue jeans, brown work boots, and a protective welding mask on his head. To his left, another student is partially visible, also wearing a welding mask.  The workshop environment features concrete flooring, exposed brick and block walls, overhead fluorescent lighting, and welding equipment visible in the lower-left foreground.
A horizontal photograph of a student welding in a dark shop station.  The student is positioned on the left side of the frame, seen from the back and side, hunched over a metal workbench. They are wearing a long-sleeve grey shirt, heavy protective welding gloves, and a safety helmet. A bright, intense white and golden light glows from the point of welding directly in front of the student, illuminating the concrete block wall behind the workbench.  To the right of the glowing weld, a flexible overhead exhaust vent hose hangs down toward the station. Small metal hand tools rest on the dark surface of the workbench next to a vertical iron welding jig holding metal plates. The rest of the foreground and surrounding workshop booth are cast in dark shadows.
A horizontal, wide-angle photograph capturing a row of industrial welding stations in a high school or technical workshop.  Two students are actively welding in separate, adjacent booths. On the left, a student in a dark long-sleeve shirt stands facing away from the camera, hunched over their workbench. To their right, a second student is seated or leaning over their workstation. Both students are obscured by extremely bright, brilliant bursts of white and blue welding light that create powerful lens flares extending across the booths. Smoke gathers near the ceiling above their stations.  In the foreground, several rolling industrial carts hold welding machines, heavy gas cylinders (including one tan and one brown cylinder with mesh netting), and wrapped black and green hoses. Overhead, fluorescent lights illuminate each individual booth, and thick, black corrugated exhaust duct tubes run vertically up to the ceiling to vent fumes. A metal work table with scraps sits in the lower left corner.
A full-length, eye-level photograph of two male welding students posing side-by-side inside a workshop. They are both looking toward the camera and wearing safety equipment, including clear safety glasses, heavy yellow-brown leather welding gloves, work boots, and welding helmets pushed up on their heads.  The student on the left is wearing a light blue denim button-down shirt, dark blue jeans, and dark brown boots. He stands with his legs slightly apart, holding a flat metal tool in his right hand and flashing a peace sign with his left hand.  The student on the right wears a grey button-down shirt, faded light-wash jeans, and light brown boots. He stands with his arms crossed over his chest.  To the far left is a tall, translucent red plastic welding safety screen. The background features the open concrete floor of the shop, with industrial welding machinery and overhead lighting visible.
A vertical, eye-level photograph showing a student welding at a workbench inside a workshop station.  The student is positioned on a metal stool, facing away and to the right of the camera. He is wearing a light blue button-down denim shirt, blue jeans, dark work boots, protective welding gloves, and a full welding helmet with graphic detailing. He leans forward over the dark metal workbench as a bright, brilliant white and blue light sparks from the tip of his welding tool.  The station features a concrete block back wall and a large dark metal vertical partition on the left side. A flexible, corrugated ventilation duct hangs down vertically behind the student to collect fumes. Various tools, including pliers and a wire brush, rest on the workbench to the right of the welding area. Elements of industrial shop machinery and cables occupy the dark foreground and borders of the frame.
A vertical photograph of a male student smiling toward the camera while seated at a welding workshop station.  The student is sitting in a three-quarter view, looking back over his shoulder. He is wearing clear safety glasses, a tan button-down long-sleeve work shirt, blue jeans, and heavy brown leather welding gloves. His welding helmet is flipped up on his head, and he holds a long, white welding rod attached to a tool handle in his right hand.  In the foreground on the left is a prominent blue and black Miller industrial wire feeder machine with thick cables wrapped around it. A white plastic cup and a white mesh-back trucker hat rest on top of the machine.  The student is positioned in front of a dark metal workbench against a light beige concrete block wall. An overhead corrugated exhaust vent hose hangs down vertically to the right of his head.
A horizontal, eye-level photograph showing an instructor and a student inside a welding workshop booth.  On the right, an older male instructor wearing a dark blue button-down shirt, blue jeans, protective gloves, and a welding mask leans over a metal workbench. He is actively welding, creating a bright, intense white and blue light that illuminates the center of the frame.  To the left, a student stands with his back to the camera, watching the instructor's demonstration. The student is wearing a light blue denim shirt, jeans, and a welding helmet on his head.  The workshop station features a light-colored concrete block back wall under bright overhead fluorescent lighting. Heavy black vertical divider walls separate the station, and industrial welding equipment and wrapped cables are visible in the dark foreground.
A vertical, medium shot of a student actively welding at a workbench inside a workshop booth.  The student is seated on a stool, facing right and hunched forward over a dark metal workbench. He is wearing a tan button-down long-sleeve work shirt, blue jeans, brown work boots, and a protective off-white welding mask with graphic designs on the front. A brilliant, intense white and blue light with a purple lens flare bursts from the point of welding, illuminating the station and generating a small cloud of smoke.  In the lower-left foreground, a blue Miller industrial machine is visible, with a white trucker hat resting on top of it. A thick black cable runs from the student's welding tool down to the concrete floor.  The background features a worn, light-colored concrete block wall. A large, flexible grey exhaust vent hose hangs down vertically above the student's head to capture smoke. A yellow and black DeWalt tool and loose welding rods rest on the bench to the right of the glowing weld.
A horizontal, wide-angle photograph capturing a spacious row of five industrial welding stations aligned along a wall in a technical training workshop.  Several students are positioned inside their individual booths with their backs to the camera, working at their respective workbenches. In the middle booth, an intense, brilliant white and blue flare of welding light bursts outward, illuminating the center of the room. The other students are in various stages of preparing or working in darker booths.  In the foreground on the concrete floor, a series of mobile rolling carts are spaced out in front of the stations. Each cart holds industrial welding machinery, thick wrapped cables, and heavy, vertical brown gas cylinders. To the far left, a metal utility table holds scraps of iron pipe, and to the far right, a broom and dustpan rest against the wall. Near the ceiling, an intricate network of metal pipes and thick, black corrugated exhaust duct tubes run down vertically into each booth to vent fumes under fluorescent strip lighting.
A horizontal, medium close-up photograph of a welding instructor talking to two students inside a workshop station.  On the right, an older male instructor wearing glasses, a dark blue short-sleeve shirt with an ID badge, a colorful orange headwrap, and a welding helmet flipped up on his head is speaking while gesturing horizontally with his raised left arm. He holds a heavy work glove in his right hand.  On the left, two male students stand with their backs mostly toward the camera, listening to the instructor. The student in the foreground wears a light blue long-sleeve button-down shirt and a welding helmet with a decorative red and white flame pattern. To his left, another student is partially visible, wearing safety glasses, a tan shirt, and a dark welding mask.  The background shows a beige concrete block wall under fluorescent lighting, a dark metal workbench with practice welding plates, and a vertical metal pipe. Industrial equipment and partitions frame the left and right sides of the scene.

Middle and high school students representing Lafourche Parish School District kicked off their summer in a big way! Earlier this month, they traveled to Natchitoches to attend the annual Louisiana Association of Student Councils (LASC) Summer Leadership Workshop at Northwestern State University, where they mastered effective leadership and meeting skills, communication techniques, group dynamics and team building. They had a great time networking with other student leaders from around the state and are returning with lots of new ideas to kick off the upcoming school year.

The LPSD legacy ran deep at this year’s workshop with more than a dozen of our Student Council alumni returning to Natchitoches as counselors and support staff. We are so proud to see our former students giving back and helping to mentor and shape the next generation of leaders in our schools and community. Congratulations to recent THS grad Cullen Murillo, who was honored with LASC’s Mr. Phil Legacy Scholarship. The future of Lafourche Parish is incredibly bright!

Peep Our Progress 🛠️

The home side stadium repairs at Thibodaux High School are wrapping up. Repairs on the visitor side will be completed following the 26-27 football season.

All three of our high school stadiums are undergoing vital structural concrete repairs and waterproofing upgrades to preserve and protect the facility. These improvements will help prevent future deterioration, enhance safety, and extend the service life of the stadium for students, athletes, and the community.

Thank you for your patience and support as we work to provide a safer, stronger environment for our students, community and visitors.

The perspective looks up and across a wide, smooth grey concrete walkway or concourse area in the foreground.  To the right, tiers of grey concrete bleacher seating with long metal benches rise steeply toward the top of the stadium. A stainless steel safety railing with chain-link mesh panels separates the walkway from the seating area. In the upper-left background, a  two-story press box with large glass windows sits at the top of the grandstands, next to a tall stadium light pole.
A close-up shot of a thick, vertical concrete support pillar beneath a stadium showing visible repair work. The left side and upper edge of the pillar have been patched with fresh, smooth, dark grey concrete, contrasting with the aged, weathered off-white concrete of the original structure. Fine surface cracks are visible on the older, unpatched sections of the column.  In the background behind the pillar, a cluttered under-tier storage area is visible through a chain-link fence. The area contains stacked metal scaffolding pieces, large rectangular black road cases or panels, and folded tarps resting on a wheeled cart.
