Summary

Scotlandville Magnet High School in Baton Rouge, LA, serves 837 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish School District, a district that ranks in the bottom third of Louisiana. While the school has faced academic challenges and holds a 1-star rating, it stands out as a top performer among its immediate non-magnet public school peers in North Baton Rouge, including Capitol High School, Istrouma High School, and Glen Oaks Senior High School, where it consistently outperforms them in state rankings and graduation rates.

One of the school's most notable strengths is its strong and improving graduation rate, which reached 83.6% in the 2024-2025 school year. This rate is significantly higher than nearby schools like Capitol High (60.0%) and Istrouma High (60.0%), and it is above the district average of 76.3%, nearly matching the state average of 85.0%. Additionally, Scotlandville's English Language Arts program is a relative bright spot, with 56% of students proficient in English II—a figure that surpasses the district average and is only 11 points behind the state. However, the school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism, which stands at 64.4%, more than double the district average and nearly triple the state average, though it is notably lower than the rates at Istrouma (81.9%) and Capitol (81.3%).

Despite its "Magnet" designation, Scotlandville's demographics and performance align more closely with traditional high schools in its high-poverty area than with selective magnet schools like Baton Rouge Magnet High School, which is a top-5 school in the state. For families in North Baton Rouge, Scotlandville is often the best-performing traditional public school option available, offering a clear advantage over its immediate neighbors. The school has also shown recent improvement in serving special education students, ranking in the 42nd percentile for this subgroup in 2025-2026, a significant jump from the prior year. While math and U.S. History scores remain low, the school's focus on literacy and its ability to guide students to graduation make it a noteworthy choice for families in the area.
