Summary

Prairieville High School is a high-performing public school in Prairieville, LA, serving 1,377 students in grades 9-12 and part of the top-ranked Ascension Parish school district, which ranks in the top 8% of districts statewide. The school earns a 5-star rating and ranks 24th out of 325 high schools in Louisiana, with proficiency rates in core subjects (76-85%) that significantly exceed state averages. Notably, Prairieville achieves these results despite having a higher student-teacher ratio (16.4:1) than nearby top-performing peers like St. Amant High School (14.5:1) and Dutchtown High School (15.2:1), suggesting strong instructional quality and school culture.

Prairieville stands out for its exceptional support of Special Education students, who rank 6th out of 168 schools statewide (96th percentile, 5 stars)—a clear differentiator from other Ascension Parish schools. The school also excels with African American students, ranking 17th out of 260 schools statewide (93rd percentile, 5 stars), the highest among local high-performing peers. Its dropout rate of 1.2% is well below the state average of 3.1% and matches St. Amant High School, while outperforming East Ascension High School (2.3%). These metrics highlight the school’s effectiveness in supporting diverse student groups and keeping students engaged.

An area for growth is performance with English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank 34th out of 57 schools (40th percentile, 2 stars)—the only subgroup below state averages. This presents an opportunity for targeted program development. Compared to schools just across the parish line in East Baton Rouge Parish, such as Belaire High School and Broadmoor Senior High School, which have proficiency rates often below 40%, Prairieville’s consistent high achievement underscores the impact of district resources and community support. Alongside St. Amant and Dutchtown, Prairieville forms part of a powerful trio of 5-star schools that make Ascension Parish a premier district for high school education in Louisiana.
