Summary:
Red River Parish in Louisiana has only one high school, Red River High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently performed below the state average, ranking 219 out of 329 Louisiana high schools in the 2024-2025 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Red River High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on LEAP/End of Course exams falling short of the state averages in several subjects, particularly in Algebra I, Geometry, and U.S. History. The school's four-year graduation rate of 83.2% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% is relatively high. These challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students (81.48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low performance, it does have some potential strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4. However, this alone has not translated into better academic outcomes for the students. Addressing the issues at Red River High School will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic barriers to student success.
