On July 23, 2024, as part of decades-old litigation, the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana ordered changes to several current attendance zone lines for the St. Martin Parish School System, which were negotiated and extensively discussed with the court over the last year. These changes will take effect immediately for the 2024-2025 school year and will impact some students in grades K through 12. The affected school zones include Parks Primary, Parks Middle, Early Learning Center, St. Martinville Primary, St. Martinville Junior High, St. Martinville High, and Breaux Bridge High.
