Summary

Mamou High School is a mid-sized public high school in rural Mamou, Louisiana, serving 443 students in grades 9-12 within the Evangeline Parish school district, where about 70% of students are economically disadvantaged.

Mamou High School stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track to graduation. With a graduation rate of 89.7%, it leads all nearby schools, significantly outperforming Northwest High School (73.6%) and Ville Platte High School (86.0%), and even surpassing the state average of 85.0%. Its dropout rate is remarkably low at just 0.4%, compared to the state average of 3.1% and rates of 5.0% or higher at nearby schools. Academically, Mamou is a consistent leader within its district, scoring above the Evangeline Parish average in every End-of-Course subject, including Algebra I (73% vs. 66%) and English II (71% vs. 63%). It also shows a unique strength in U.S. History, where its 58% proficiency rate exceeds the state average and is the highest among all comparable schools in the area.

The school's main challenge is a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.2%, nearly double the state average, which creates a paradox given its strong graduation numbers. This suggests that while many students miss significant school days, the school has effective systems to prevent dropouts. Recent data shows promising improvement in serving all student groups, with rankings rising for African American, White, and low-income students. However, support for special education students needs renewed focus, as their ranking dropped sharply. Overall, Mamou High School is a solid, above-average school that excels at graduating its students, and reducing absenteeism could unlock even greater academic success.
