Summary

DeQuincy High School is a public high school serving 303 students in grades 9-12 in DeQuincy, Louisiana, which is part of the Calcasieu Parish school district. The school has seen fluctuating graduation rates in recent years, ranging from 82.7% to 93.1%, which is generally on par with or slightly higher than the nearby Westlake High School (83.2%) and Sam Houston High School (83.2%).

One area of concern at DeQuincy High School is the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 20.4% to 31.0% in recent years, higher than the nearby schools of Westlake High (24.6%) and Sam Houston High (24.6%). The school's test scores on the LEAP/End of Course exams are generally on par with or slightly below the Calcasieu Parish and Louisiana state averages, with some variation in performance among different student subgroups.

While DeQuincy High School's overall performance is solid and generally comparable to nearby schools in the Calcasieu Parish district, there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the higher-performing South Beauregard High School in the neighboring Beauregard Parish district, which has outperformed DeQuincy High School on several key metrics. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and exploring strategies to support student subgroups could be areas of focus for DeQuincy High School to improve its overall performance.
