Summary

Pineville High School is a large public high school in Pineville, LA, serving 1,271 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Rapides Parish school district, a 4-star district ranking in the 76th percentile statewide. The school has shown a clear upward trend in recent years, achieving a 4-star rating for three consecutive years (2023-2026) and reaching its highest state rank at 58th out of 325 schools (82nd percentile) in the 2025-2026 school year.

Pineville High stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently exceeding both district and state averages on End-of-Course LEAP exams in every subject, including Algebra I (83% proficient vs. 65% statewide) and English II (79% vs. 67%). The school also boasts an exceptional graduation rate above 88% for the last five years, with a 2024-2025 rate of 89.4%—well above the state average of 85.0%—and a remarkably low dropout rate of just 1.0% in 2023-2024. Notably, the school earned 4-star ratings for its service to all student subgroups, including Special Education and Low Socio-Economic Status students, with a dramatic turnaround for Special Education students from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Pineville High offers a balanced profile. While Alexandria Senior High School has a slightly higher graduation rate (92.0% vs. 89.4%), Pineville outperforms it on recent state assessments in every subject and shows an upward trajectory in state rankings versus Alexandria’s recent decline. In contrast, Peabody Magnet High School (2.88 miles away) is a 1-star school with proficiency rates in the 20-40% range, highlighting Pineville’s success in achieving strong results despite a 60% poverty rate. The primary area for future focus is reducing chronic absenteeism, which at 18.0% in 2024-2025 is slightly above the district average of 17.5%.
