Summary

Plaquemine Senior High School in Plaquemine, LA, serves 990 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Iberville Parish school district, where about 67% of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds.

One of the school's most notable features is its unique grade configuration, serving 7th and 8th graders alongside high school students—a setup that differs from most nearby high schools like Port Allen High School and Brusly High School, which only serve grades 9-12. Academically, Plaquemine shows a clear strength in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates that have sometimes exceeded both the district and state averages. However, the school faces a persistent challenge in mathematics, where only 45% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 62% statewide. This math deficit is a key factor in the school's overall ranking, which has generally placed it in the bottom half of Louisiana high schools over the past decade.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with rates consistently higher than the district average—for example, 30.5% in 2023-2024 versus 23.1% for the district. This school-specific issue likely contributes to lower academic performance. On a positive note, the graduation rate has been a bright spot, consistently above the state average (87% in 2024-2025 compared to 85% statewide). However, the quality of that diploma may be questioned given low proficiency in core subjects like math and science. The proximity to high-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Brusly High School (just 9 miles away with a 77th percentile ranking), highlights the disparities in educational opportunities between nearby communities.
