Summary

Loranger High School is a small-to-mid-sized high school in the rural community of Loranger, Louisiana, serving 616 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Tangipahoa Parish school district.

Loranger High School stands out for its strong performance in mathematics, particularly in Geometry and Algebra I, where proficiency rates often exceed those of nearby schools. For example, Loranger's 52% Geometry proficiency rate surpasses Ponchatoula High School (50%) and Hammond High Magnet School (44%). The school also boasts an impressive 88.6% graduation rate, higher than the state average (85%) and all other Tangipahoa Parish high schools in the area, including Amite High Magnet (81.6%) and Independence High Magnet (82.1%). However, the school faces significant challenges, including a critical 42.6% chronic absenteeism rate—nearly double the state average—and a pronounced weakness in English I, where only 28% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 66%. Additionally, the school's performance lags behind neighboring districts like Livingston Parish and St. Tammany Parish, where schools such as Springfield High School and Covington High School achieve proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher in subjects like U.S. History.

Despite these hurdles, Loranger shows notable strengths in keeping students on track to graduate and has demonstrated improvement in supporting Special Education students, who jumped from the 18th to the 41st percentile in recent years. The school's rising dropout rate (3.3% in 2023-2024) and declining support for low-income students are areas to watch, but its math achievements and graduation success offer a solid foundation for families considering this school.
