Summary:
East Carroll Parish, Louisiana has only one high school, General Trass High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 184 out of 329 Louisiana high schools in 2024-2025 to 274 out of 321 in 2022-2023. Its performance rating has also decreased from 2 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 over the same period.
Academically, General Trass High School's proficiency rates on LEAP/End of Course exams have generally been lower than the state averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry, English II, U.S. History, and English I. The school's four-year graduation rate of 83.2% in 2022-2023 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.3% is slightly higher. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, General Trass High School has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1 in 2023-2024, which could be a positive factor in terms of individual attention and support for students. However, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (86.52% in 2023-2024), indicating significant economic disadvantages that may contribute to the school's academic and performance challenges.
