Summary

Sicily Island High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Sicily Island, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school is part of the Catahoula Parish school district, which is ranked 57th out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sicily Island High School has faced several challenges in recent years. The school's graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 75.3% to 92.3% for the 4-year graduation rate, which is generally lower than the state average of around 80-85%. The school's dropout rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 2.9% to 4.9%, slightly higher than the state average of around 2-3%. Additionally, Sicily Island High School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.9% to 44.0%, significantly higher than the state average of around 15-20%. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Catahoula Parish and Louisiana state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Harrisonburg High School (within the same district) and Concordia Education Center and Delta Charter School MST, Sicily Island High School generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. However, the school appears to perform relatively better in English Language Arts compared to Mathematics, which could be an area of focus for improvement. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.55% to 70.19%, suggests that Sicily Island High School serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower performance on various metrics.
