Summary

C.E. Byrd High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Shreveport, LA, serving 1,517 students in grades 9-12 and consistently ranking as one of the top-performing traditional high schools in the Caddo Parish district.

Byrd stands out dramatically from its immediate neighbors. On state tests, Byrd’s proficiency rates are far higher than most other Caddo Parish high schools. For example, in English II, Byrd scored 79% compared to the district average of 58%, and in U.S. History, it achieved 67% versus the district’s 45%. Its graduation rate of 92.2% is also well above the district’s 82.6%. Interestingly, Byrd’s success is not due to smaller classes—its student-teacher ratio of 20:1 is higher than many struggling peers. The school also performs competitively against top schools from better-ranked districts, such as Airline High School in Bossier Parish, where Byrd outperforms Airline in several key test scores. However, Byrd operates in the shadow of the elite, selective-admissions Caddo Parish Magnet High School, which likely draws away the highest-achieving students, making Byrd’s strong performance even more impressive.

Despite its overall success, there are important areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism is a growing issue, with a rate of 30.7% in 2024-2025—significantly higher than the state average of 22.5% and trending upward. Additionally, while Byrd serves its students from higher-income backgrounds exceptionally well, there is a notable achievement gap for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who perform at a more average level. The school also shows volatility in support for smaller groups, such as Hispanic and multi-racial students, with large year-over-year swings in performance rankings. This suggests that success for these groups may depend on specific cohorts or teachers rather than a consistent, systemic support system.
