Summary

Green Oaks Performing Arts Academy is a small high school in Shreveport, LA, serving 308 students in grades 9-12 within the Caddo Parish district, where about 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 7th percentile in state rankings to the 33rd percentile in the 2025-2026 school year—its highest ranking in a decade. This dramatic improvement sets it apart from nearby schools like Woodlawn High School (2nd percentile) and Booker T. Washington High (4th percentile), which remain stagnant, and it even rivals the progress of Huntington High School (31st percentile) while serving a higher-needs population.

A standout strength is U.S. History, where 68% of students are proficient—well above the district (45%) and state (55%) averages, and even surpassing C.E. Byrd High School (67%). The school also excels in supporting African American students, ranking in the 53rd percentile for this subgroup, a leap from the 9th percentile two years prior. With a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1, Green Oaks offers individualized attention that larger schools like C.E. Byrd (20:1) cannot match. However, performance is uneven: while Algebra I proficiency soared from 20% to 58% in one year, English II and Biology remain weak at 43% each, trailing the district.

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge at 45.7%, nearly double the district average (31%) and far higher than high-performing peers like Caddo Parish Magnet High School (11.2%). The graduation rate has been volatile, recently recovering to 81% after a low of 67.1% in 2022-2023, but the dropout rate (5.6%) remains above the state average. Despite these hurdles, Green Oaks’ recent academic gains—especially in U.S. History and Algebra I—signal effective interventions that are making a real difference for students in a high-poverty community.
