Summary

Haughton High School in Haughton, LA, serves 1,360 students in grades 8 through 12 and is part of the Bossier Parish school district, a district ranked in the top 40% of Louisiana.

Haughton High School stands out for its exceptional support for special education students, consistently ranking in the top 20% of the state for this subgroup—a strength not seen in nearby schools like Airline High School or Parkway High School. The school also excels in STEM, with proficiency rates in Biology (75%) and Geometry (71%) that are the highest among all non-magnet schools in the area, even outpacing the higher-ranked Benton High School in Biology. However, a significant concern is the school's dramatic decline in serving English Language Learners, dropping from the 82nd percentile to the 0th percentile in just two years. Despite this, Haughton maintains a strong graduation rate of 91.9% and a low dropout rate, even while facing a chronic absenteeism rate (29.1%) that is higher than the state average.

Within the Bossier Parish district, Haughton sits in a stable middle ground, clearly outperforming Bossier High School but trailing behind Benton High School, a gap likely linked to differences in socioeconomic factors. The school's performance in English II (80%) is notably close to that of the region's top-tier Caddo Parish Magnet High School, highlighting a specific strength in literacy. Overall, Haughton is a reliable, above-average option that has shown positive momentum, earning a 4-star rating for the last two years, but families should investigate the school's support for English Language Learners if that is a priority.
