Summary

Neville High School in Monroe, LA, serves 1,042 students in grades 9-12 and stands out as the top-performing traditional high school within the City of Monroe School District, a district that ranks in the bottom 22nd percentile statewide.

Neville consistently outperforms its district peers, such as Wossman High School and Carroll High School, with dramatically higher proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I (80% proficient vs. 36% and 27%, respectively) and a graduation rate of 90.8% that far exceeds the district average. The school has maintained a stable 3-star state rating for five years, ranking in the 55th to 68th percentile among Louisiana high schools. However, a key concern is rising chronic absenteeism, which has nearly doubled to 27.8%—now higher than both the district and state averages. This paradox suggests that while attending students achieve strong results, a growing number are disengaged from regular attendance. Additionally, while Neville excels with its student body overall, its performance with low socio-economic status students (who make up over 61% of enrollment) is a relative weakness, ranking in the 52nd percentile compared to the school’s overall 62nd percentile.

Compared to nearby schools in the higher-performing Ouachita Parish district, Neville holds its own against West Monroe High School, with similar state ranks (122 vs. 153) and a lower chronic absenteeism rate (27.8% vs. 36.5%). However, it trails the region’s elite Sterlington High School, which boasts a 5-star rating and higher proficiency rates (e.g., 90% in English II vs. Neville’s 73%). Neville’s history shows gradual improvement from a low point in 2015-2016, reflecting a stable and resilient school that remains a strong academic choice in the Monroe area.
