Summary

Rayne High School is a public high school in Rayne, LA, serving 653 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Acadia Parish school district, where about 65% of students come from low-income backgrounds. The school has a notable strength in English II, consistently matching or exceeding state averages—with 68% of students proficient in the most recent year—but struggles significantly in U.S. History, where only 47% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 55%. While the graduation rate has recovered to 87.9%, above both district and state averages, and the dropout rate remains impressively low at 1.3%, the school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism at 37.7%, which is nearly 10 points higher than the district average and over 15 points higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Rayne High School sits in a middle position within its district. It performs similarly to Church Point High School, which has a comparable state rank and chronic absenteeism rate, and it outperforms Crowley High School, which has much lower test scores and a higher absenteeism rate. However, it lags far behind high-performing schools just a few miles away in neighboring parishes, such as North Vermilion High School (a 5-star school with 90% proficiency in Algebra I) and Lafayette High School (a 4-star school), both of which have significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates around 22-23%. This gap is strongly tied to local socio-economic factors, as Rayne has a much higher poverty rate than these neighboring schools.

The school’s most pressing issue is its high chronic absenteeism, which is likely driving its declining state rank—from the 60th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 44th percentile currently. Despite this, the school manages to maintain a graduation rate above state averages and a very low dropout rate, suggesting effective support for students who stay engaged. For parents, this means Rayne High School offers solid English instruction and helps most students graduate, but improving attendance is critical to boosting overall performance and closing the gap with nearby high-achieving schools.
