Among these schools, the Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Louisiana and significantly exceeding the parish and state averages in test scores, with 78-100% of students proficient or better in various subjects. Eunice High School and Port Barre High School also perform relatively well, with strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I.
