Summary:

JCFA Lafayette is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the JCFA Lafayette district, which is ranked 28 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. 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%. However, the school lags behind the state average in LEAP/U.S. History, with a proficiency rate of 42% versus the state's 54%.

Despite these academic challenges, JCFA Lafayette boasts a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 83.2%, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school has a low dropout rate of 3.3%, lower than the state average. These positive outcomes suggest the school is providing a supportive environment for its students, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (75.61%).

While JCFA Lafayette has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from 125 out of 329 Louisiana high schools in 2024-2025 (3 stars) to 279 out of 326 in 2021-2022 (1 star), the school's overall performance indicates a need for continued efforts to improve academic outcomes, particularly in social studies. 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.
