Summary

Gueydan High School is a small, rural public school in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, serving 187 students in grades 6 through 12, with a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1 that allows for more individualized attention. The school is on a powerful upward trajectory, jumping from the 47th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 77th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. This resurgence is especially notable given that over 56% of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds, and the school ranks in the 87th percentile for serving this subgroup—a remarkable achievement that shows it is highly effective at closing opportunity gaps.

Gueydan stands out for its exceptional performance in core STEM subjects, with proficiency rates in Biology (84%) and Algebra I (86%) well above state averages and significantly higher than nearby schools like Crowley High School (47% in Algebra I) and Jennings High School. While its in-district rival Kaplan High School has historically ranked higher, Gueydan is closing the gap and now outperforms Kaplan in several key metrics. The school also boasts a high graduation rate of 90.5% and has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for two consecutive years, a standout achievement compared to peers like Lake Arthur High School.

However, the school faces some challenges. A "7th grade slump" is evident, with proficiency rates in math (55%), English (55%), and social studies (45%) significantly below district and state averages, contrasting with strong performance in 6th and 8th grades. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is high at 37.8%, far exceeding the district average of 27.9%, suggesting that while present students succeed, a large portion is missing substantial school time. There is also a gender gap, with male students consistently ranking in the 79th percentile while female students have shown more volatile performance. Addressing these issues could propel Gueydan even higher, especially as it continues to compete effectively within the highly-ranked Vermilion Parish district.
