Summary

Fontainebleau High School in Mandeville, LA, is a large public high school serving 1,451 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-ranked St. Tammany Parish School District, and it has recently made a powerful academic comeback, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 29th in the state for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance and rapid improvement. After a dip in the 2023-2024 school year, Fontainebleau has climbed from a 3-star ranking to a 5-star ranking, placing it in the top 10% of all Louisiana high schools. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like Biology (84%), English II (85%), and Geometry (79%) are well above both the district and state averages. A particularly impressive strength is the school's support for its Special Education students, who rank 9th out of 168 schools statewide—a 5-star achievement. However, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism at 29%, which is higher than the district (21.2%) and state (22.5%) averages. While its graduation rate has been stable around 85-87%, it has not shown the same upward trend as its test scores.

For context, Fontainebleau operates in the shadow of its high-performing rival, Mandeville High School, which is ranked 15th in the state. While Mandeville has been consistently elite, Fontainebleau's recent trajectory is more dynamic, showing a dramatic upward swing that suggests a school actively improving its systems. An interesting contrast within the school is its performance with different student groups: while Special Education students excel, English Language Learner (ELL) students rank lower, indicating a need for new strategies. Overall, Fontainebleau is a school on the rise, with strong academics and a clear focus on improvement, making it a compelling choice for families in the Mandeville area.
