Summary

Hathaway High School in Jennings, LA, is an alternative school serving 566 students in grades PK through 12 as part of the Jefferson Davis Parish school district, which ranks in the top third of Louisiana districts.

Hathaway stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates. The school boasts a 94.7% graduation rate, well above the state average of 85.0%, and has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for four of the last five years—a stark contrast to the state's 3.1% average. Academically, the school shows a split between grade levels. Elementary and middle school students consistently outperform state averages in math, English, and social studies, with 5th grade English and social studies reaching 93% and 83% proficiency respectively. However, high school End-of-Course exams reveal weaknesses, particularly in U.S. History (43% proficiency) and Geometry (62%), which fall below state averages. Compared to nearby Lacassine High School, Hathaway has higher overall math proficiency (81% vs. 61%) and stronger social studies scores (68% vs. 62%).

Despite these strengths, chronic absenteeism is a concern at 21.1%, higher than Lacassine's 15.7% and close to the state average. This is unusual given the school's strong academic and graduation metrics, suggesting that while engaged students perform well, the school may struggle to reach a segment of its population. Additionally, the percentage of economically disadvantaged students has dropped significantly from 61.9% to 44.7% over two years, which may reflect changing demographics. The school's high school EOC scores also show notable year-to-year volatility—Algebra I scores swung from 78% to 89% over four years—which could indicate small class sizes or staffing changes. Overall, Hathaway offers a strong foundation for younger students and impressive graduation outcomes, but families should investigate the consistency of its high school programs.
