How Louisiana's high schools compare

A: 75B: 72C: 70D: 69F: 18

48% of the 304 ranked high schools in Louisiana earn an A or B (75 A grades, 72 B, 70 C, 69 D, 18 F), against 50% of high schools nationwide. 229 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (75% here, 74% nationally), and 109 exceed it. On average 32% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 27% (national averages: 44% actual, 41% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Bolton High School (76% against 20%, A+), Morehouse Magnet School (63% against 19%, A+), Erath High School (59% against 33%, A+), Lasalle High School (57% against 31%, A+), Lsu Laboratory School (85% against 60%, A+).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 76): Rapides Parish (6), Vernon Parish (4), St. Tammany Parish (4), Calcasieu Parish (4).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Baton Rouge (19, 4 at A or B), New Orleans (14, 3 at A or B), Shreveport (10, 3 at A or B), Lake Charles (6, 3 at A or B), Lafayette (6, 3 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Dutchtown High School (2,643 students, A+, #9), St Amant High School (2,411 students, A+, #17), Chalmette High School (2,334 students, B-, #129).

Of the top 25, 5 are magnet schools and 4 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

Special-purpose schools (18)
