Summary

Slidell High School is a public high school located in Slidell, Louisiana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,833 students. It is part of the St. Tammany Parish school district, which is ranked 19th out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Slidell High School was once a top-performing school, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 49th out of 297 Louisiana high schools in 2015-2016 to 166th out of 329 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong rankings for African American and Hispanic students, but struggling with White and Multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Slidell High School's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, and the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism in recent years.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Fontainebleau High School, Lakeshore High School, and Northshore High School, Slidell High School's performance is generally weaker, with lower rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. However, the school has seen a recent improvement in its student-teacher ratio, which could potentially lead to positive changes in the school's academic outcomes in the future.
