About Schools in Marrero, Louisiana
Marrero, Louisiana has 10 ranked public schools spanning elementary through high school grades. The city's schools average 6.3 out of 10, and 4 of those 10 — 40% — clear the 7.0 mark. That spread signals real variation across the district. Parents will find genuine standouts here, but performance is not uniform.
Allen Ellender School leads the city with an 8.7 out of 10, making it the strongest elementary option in Marrero by a clear margin. L.H. Marrero Middle School follows at 8.0 — a high score for a middle school and a meaningful data point for families thinking ahead. Harry S Truman School (7.8) and Lincoln School for the Arts (7.3) complete the top tier. Four schools at or above 7.0 is a solid showing, and three of those four sit at the elementary level.
The high school picture is narrower. Fisher Middle/High School scores 6.6, which tracks close to the city average of 6.3. It is the only combined middle/high option in the top-five list. Families planning for secondary school should compare Fisher directly to high schools in surrounding Jefferson Parish communities before committing to a neighborhood. The gap between Fisher and the top elementary schools is wide enough that it warrants active research rather than a default assumption.
For parents of elementary-age children, Marrero's options are competitive. Allen Ellender at 8.7 would rank well in most metro peer groups, and three more schools sit within one point of it. The clearest practical path: prioritize proximity to Ellender or Truman for younger kids, plan L.H. Marrero Middle as a natural progression at 8.0, and start the high school search early given that secondary options thin out. The data favors families who map their full K–12 trajectory before choosing where to live.
