Block High School consistently underperforms compared to the Catahoula Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23% of Block High School students were proficient or better in LEAP Mathematics, compared to 53% in Catahoula Parish and 60% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 75.3% and 86.2% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate ranges from 2.9% to 4.3%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Block High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.9% to 62.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Jena High School and Ferriday High School, Block High School performs significantly worse across various metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. For instance, Jena High School's proficiency rates in Algebra I, Geometry, and English II are much higher than Block High School's. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as the high poverty rate and chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for the school to improve and provide a better educational experience for its students.
