How Louisiana's high schools compare

A: 13B: 69C: 95D: 96F: 37

26% of the 310 ranked high schools in Louisiana earn an A or B (13 A grades, 69 B, 95 C, 96 D, 37 F), against 48% of high schools nationwide. 189 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (61% here, 75% nationally), and 55 exceed it. On average 29% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 32% (national averages: 42% actual, 40% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Lsu Laboratory School (84% against 44%, A+), Early College Academy (87% against 60%, A+), The Willow School (82% against 57%, A+), Benjamin Franklin High School (92% against 70%, A+), Patrick F Taylor Science And Technology Academy (93% against 72%, A+).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 78): Jefferson Parish (6), Livingston Parish (5), Vernon Parish (5), St. Tammany Parish (4).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: New Orleans (23, 3 at A or B), Baton Rouge (17, 4 at A or B), Shreveport (10, 2 at A or B), Lafayette (7, 2 at A or B), Lake Charles (6, 3 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Dutchtown High School (2,643 students, A-, #11), St Amant High School (2,411 students, B+, #16), Chalmette High School (2,334 students, C, #132).

Of the top 25, 6 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.
