Summary

Assumption High School in Napoleonville, LA, is a mid-sized public high school serving 742 students in grades 9-12 within the rural Assumption Parish district, which holds a 3-star rating. The school stands out for its exceptional support of special education students, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior and far exceeding any nearby school. It also boasts a very high graduation rate of 94.9% and a remarkably low dropout rate of 0.9%, both significantly better than the state averages and competitive with schools like St. James High School (92.7% graduation) and White Castle High School (90.2% graduation).

Academically, the school shows clear strengths in math, with 69% of students proficient in Algebra I and 71% in Geometry—well above state averages and outperforming nearby schools like Thibodaux High School (52% in Geometry). English scores are also solid, with 72% proficiency in English I. However, the school struggles in Biology (56% proficiency) and Social Studies (53% proficiency), both below state averages, suggesting a need for more focus in those subjects. Interestingly, Assumption outperforms Donaldsonville High School in every academic subject, even though Donaldsonville is part of the highly-ranked Ascension Parish district, highlighting that a school's performance isn't solely tied to its district's reputation.

A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, which affects 33.6% of students—the highest rate among nearby schools and well above the state average of 22.5%. This is puzzling given the high graduation and low dropout rates, suggesting that while many students succeed, a significant portion miss substantial instructional time. The school has also shown notable improvement with Hispanic students, jumping to the 62nd percentile in effectiveness, and continues to serve its White students well, ranking in the 69th percentile. These insights paint a picture of a school with strong foundations in math and student retention, but with clear opportunities to improve attendance and performance in science and social studies.
