Thrive Academy

Thrive Academy is the sole public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Thrive Academy District, which is ranked 42 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 188 students, Thrive Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.8, suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

Thrive Academy's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuating proficiency rates on LEAP tests compared to the state average. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were lower in mathematics but higher in English Language Arts. However, the following year, the school outperformed the state in both subjects. The school's performance on end-of-course exams has also shown varied results. Additionally, Thrive Academy faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% and a significant percentage (94.68%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Thrive Academy's small size and personalized learning environment could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. Addressing the inconsistent academic performance, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism issues could be key focus areas for the school's improvement efforts. With targeted interventions and support, Thrive Academy has the potential to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
