Summary

Grant High School in Dry Prong, LA, is a mid-sized public high school serving 569 students in grades 9-12 within the rural Grant Parish school district, where about 58% of students are economically disadvantaged. The school currently holds a 3-star rating (51st percentile) in Louisiana, reflecting a solid middle-of-the-pack performance that has fluctuated over the past decade, including a peak as a 4-star school in 2021-2022 and a recent recovery from a 2-star rating.

A key strength of Grant High School is its exceptionally low dropout rate of 1.8% (2023-2024), which is better than the state average and comparable to high-performing nearby schools like Pineville High School (1.0%) and Alexandria Senior High School (1.6%). However, this is paired with a significant challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.6% (2024-2025), which is nearly double that of Pineville (18.0%) and Alexandria Senior (18.7%), and well above the state average of 22.5%. This attendance paradox—where students stay enrolled but miss many days—likely impacts academic performance and is a major area of concern for parents. On a positive note, the school consistently outperforms the state in U.S. History, with 59% of students proficient compared to 55% statewide, and its smaller student-teacher ratio of 14.4 offers a more intimate learning environment than larger schools like Alexandria Senior (17.9).

Compared to nearby schools, Grant High School is in a different academic tier than the struggling Peabody Magnet High School (1-star, 12th percentile), with vastly superior test scores and graduation rates. It is not directly comparable to the highly selective Bolton Academy, which serves a unique magnet population. The school’s performance varies across student groups, with relative strengths for male students and areas for growth with others. As the only high school in the Grant Parish district (ranked 45th out of 116 districts), it faces different resource dynamics than schools in the higher-ranked Rapides Parish district (ranked 28th), which may contribute to the performance gap with neighbors like Pineville and Tioga High School.
