Summary

Weston High School in Jonesboro, LA, is an alternative school serving 598 students in grades PK through 12 within the Jackson Parish school district, where about 58.7% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage.

Weston High School stands out for its exceptional performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, often surpassing nearby schools and state averages. For example, in Algebra I, Weston (79%) essentially ties Quitman High School (80%) and beats Dodson High School (66%) and the state (65%). In Geometry, Weston (72%) outperforms Quitman (67%) and the state (57%). The school also boasts a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for four consecutive years, far better than Dodson’s 2.0% rate. However, the most pressing concern is a sharp rise in chronic absenteeism, which jumped from 7.3% in 2021-2022 to 32.6% in 2023-2024, now exceeding both Quitman (19.3%) and the state average (22.5%). This creates a paradox: while students stay enrolled, many miss significant instructional time, which could eventually undermine strong academic results.

Compared to other local schools, Weston shows notable strengths in upper elementary grades, such as 4th grade Math (79%, highest among comparison schools) and 4th grade ELA (76%, tied with Dodson). Social Studies is a consistent weakness across the region, with Weston’s all-grades score of 42% well below the state average of 55%. Nearby Howard School faces extreme challenges with single-digit proficiency scores, highlighting the wide disparity in outcomes. For parents, Weston offers effective instruction when students attend, but addressing the absenteeism crisis is critical to sustaining its academic successes.
