Summary

Lacassine High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Lacassine, Louisiana, part of the Jefferson Davis Parish school district. With 637 students, Lacassine High consistently outperforms the state and parish averages on English Language Arts assessments, with 65% of students projected to be proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 70% for the parish and state. However, the school faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.9% to 25.0% in recent years.

Lacassine High School's 4-year graduation rates are also impressive, ranging from 82.7% to 93.2% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average of around 80%. In comparison to nearby Hathaway High School and Bell City High School, Lacassine generally performs on par or slightly better on assessments. However, the other schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates, which may contribute to their academic success.

While Lacassine High School outperforms the state in math, its performance relative to the Jefferson Davis Parish is more mixed, with the school excelling in some grades but lagging behind in others. This indicates a need to examine the school's math instruction and curriculum more closely. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rates have declined slightly in recent years, from a high of 93.2% in 2021-2022 to 82.7% in 2022-2023, a trend the school should monitor and address to ensure continued strong outcomes for students.
