High Schools in Eleanor McMain Secondary School

Summary:

Eleanor McMain Secondary School is the only high school located in this area, serving grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 151 out of 329 schools in 2024-2025 to 261 out of 321 schools in 2022-2023. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other high schools in Louisiana.

The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in Geometry, English II, and English I, but weaknesses in Algebra I, U.S. History, and Biology. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which could be contributing to its declining performance. Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as 75.79% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges for the school's population.

However, Eleanor McMain Secondary School does have a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.6, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the school appears to be facing a combination of academic, attendance, and socioeconomic challenges, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve its performance and ranking within the state.
