Summary:
The St. Charles Parish school district in Louisiana is home to two high-performing high schools: Hahnville High School and Destrehan High School. Both schools have consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state, with Destrehan High School generally outperforming Hahnville High School in terms of state-wide ranking and test scores.
Hahnville High School has been ranked between 97-101 out of 321-333 Louisiana high schools in the past three school years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Destrehan High School has been ranked between 42-59 out of 321-329 Louisiana high schools during the same period, also earning a 4-star rating. Both schools have a 83.2% four-year graduation rate and a 3.3% dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, they share a similar student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and a free/reduced lunch rate of around 45-46% for the 2023-2024 school year.
While the schools perform well overall, they both face a challenge with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% for the 2023-2024 school year. This is an area that the St. Charles Parish district may want to investigate further to identify the root causes and implement strategies to improve student attendance and engagement.
