Summary

Belaire High School is a public high school located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 808 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 81 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belaire High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the East Baton Rouge Parish and Louisiana state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24% of Belaire students were proficient or better in LEAP English II, compared to 55% in the district and 67% statewide. Belaire High School also has a higher dropout rate, ranging from 3.3% to 8.5% over the past few years, compared to the state average of around 5%.

In comparison, nearby Baton Rouge Magnet High School consistently ranks in the top 5 schools in Louisiana and has much higher test scores and graduation rates. Belaire High School's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide. However, the school's performance for English Language Learner students is relatively better, ranking in the top 50 schools in Louisiana. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and the unique needs of the school's predominantly low-socioeconomic student population will be crucial for improving Belaire High School's overall performance.
