Summary:
Pointe Coupee Parish is served by a single high school, Livonia High School, which enrolls 899 students in grades 7 through 12 and is part of the Pointe Coupee Parish school district.
Livonia High School shows a mixed academic profile. While its English Language Arts proficiency rate of 64% is close to the state average of 70%, its math proficiency rate of 44% is significantly lower than the state's 62%. A particularly concerning trend is the "8th grade math cliff," where only 27% of 8th graders are proficient in math, compared to 58% of 7th graders. The school also struggles with U.S. History, where only 30% of students are proficient, well below the state average of 55%. The school's graduation rate of 81.8% is slightly below the state's 85.0%, but its dropout rate of 6.1% is double the state average of 3.1%, indicating a need for stronger student retention efforts.
Chronic absenteeism at Livonia High School stands at 25.5%, which is better than the district average of 32.0% but worse than the state average of 22.5%. The school's state ranking has fluctuated, reaching 190th out of 329 schools in 2024-2025 but dropping to 228th out of 325 in 2025-2026, placing it in the lower third of Louisiana high schools. While the school often outperforms the district average in key metrics, the district itself ranks low (82nd out of 116), suggesting that other schools in the parish may be dragging down overall performance. The majority of students (62.51%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.
