Summary

Vinton High School is a small high school in Vinton, LA, serving 242 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Calcasieu Parish school district, a 4-star district ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide. With 58.26% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school has consistently earned a 3-star rating over the past decade, with its state ranking fluctuating between the 39th and 62nd percentiles. A standout feature is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 9.2:1, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Alfred M. Barbe High School (16.9:1) and Sulphur High School (13.9:1), allowing for more individualized attention.

Vinton High School excels in specific academic areas, particularly Geometry, where it posted an 85% proficiency rate in 2025-2026—well above the state average of 57% and higher than all nearby schools, including Westlake High School (80%) and Barbe (74%). However, the school struggles in English I (52% proficient) and U.S. History (50% proficient), which are below district and state averages. The school also demonstrates strong student retention, with graduation rates consistently above 91% and a dropout rate of just 0.3% in 2022-2023, far lower than the state average of 3.3%. Chronic absenteeism, though slightly below the state average at 20.7% in 2024-2025, remains a persistent challenge, spiking to 26.4% the previous year.

Vinton High School shows notable strengths in serving specific student groups, ranking in the 82nd percentile for African American students and the 87th percentile for Special Education students in recent years, outperforming the school's overall ranking. This suggests effective support systems for these populations. However, performance for White students has declined, ranking in the 22nd percentile in 2024-2025. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio create a supportive environment that prioritizes graduation and targeted success, but academic performance remains inconsistent across subjects. Its standout Geometry results indicate pockets of instructional excellence that could be expanded to improve other areas.
