Ferriday High School consistently underperforms compared to the Concordia Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly lower proficiency rates than the district and state in subjects like Algebra I (55% vs. 65% and 63%), English II (33% vs. 51% and 67%), and U.S. History (14% vs. 28% and 54%). Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate is around 80-83%, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 3-5% is higher than the state's average. Ferriday High School also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.9% to 28.1% in the last few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Vidalia High School, another school in the Concordia Parish district, consistently outperforms Ferriday High School on standardized tests and has higher graduation rates. Ferriday High School's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, and the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past several years, suggesting that the school may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes.
