Summary

Kaplan High School in Kaplan, LA, is a mid-sized high school serving 528 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-ranked Vermilion Parish district, where about half of the students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Kaplan High School has a strong history of academic excellence, consistently outperforming state and district averages on end-of-course exams, particularly in English I (85% proficiency vs. 66% statewide) and Algebra I (79% vs. 65% statewide). However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has risen sharply to 37.5%—far higher than the district average of 27.9% and dramatically above top-performing peers like North Vermilion High School (23.3%) and Erath High School (26.4%). Despite this attendance issue, Kaplan excels at supporting its low-income students, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide for that subgroup, and maintains a very low dropout rate of just 0.7% compared to the state's 3.1%.

While Kaplan remains a solidly above-average school, its state ranking has slipped from a peak of 16th to 52nd in recent years, while North Vermilion High School has risen to become the top-ranked school in the area (20th in the state). This creates a healthy competition within the district, but the attendance gap is a critical issue that, if unaddressed, could begin to erode Kaplan's strong test scores and overall ranking. The school's ability to maintain high academic performance despite this challenge speaks to its instructional quality, but addressing the root causes of absenteeism will be key to its future success.
