Summary

Quitman High School is a PK-12 school in Quitman, LA, serving 695 students within the Jackson Parish school district, which is ranked in the lower-middle tier of the state. Despite its district's overall ranking, Quitman High School stands out as a strong academic performer, boasting a low free/reduced lunch rate of 42.16% and a student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1.

Quitman High School consistently delivers high academic achievement, with proficiency rates in math (66%) and English language arts (70%) that match or exceed state averages. Its graduation rate is exceptional at 92.5%, well above the state average of 85%, and the school has achieved a 0% dropout rate for two consecutive years. The school particularly excels in end-of-course exams, with 88% proficiency in English I and 80% in Algebra I, indicating strong college preparation. However, a notable weakness is U.S. History, where only 43% of students are proficient, below the state average of 55%. Chronic absenteeism has also risen sharply from 6.8% to 19.3% over three years, though it remains below state levels.

Compared to nearby schools, Quitman is part of a cluster of high-performing rural schools in north-central Louisiana. Saline High School (19.56 miles away) slightly exceeds Quitman in math (81%) and ELA (80%) proficiency, with a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1% and a smaller student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1. Simsboro High School (13.6 miles away) also performs strongly with 72% math and 79% ELA proficiency, benefiting from being in the higher-ranked Lincoln Parish district. While Quitman is a leader in its own district, it faces strong competition from these neighboring schools for the title of best school in the area.
