With a total enrollment of 82 students, JCFA Lafayette stands out for its strong performance in science, as evidenced by its significantly higher proficiency rates in LEAP/Biology (85%) compared to the state average of 59%.

Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges and should be addressed to ensure students are consistently engaged in their education.
