Summary

Lacassine High School is a small, public school in Lacassine, LA, serving 587 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade as part of the Jefferson Davis Parish school district, which has earned a 4-star rating. This school stands out for its exceptionally low dropout rate, which has remained under 1% for five years—far below the state average of around 3%—and its strong performance in social studies, where 62% of students scored proficient compared to 55% statewide. Additionally, Lacassine has made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 15.7% that is significantly lower than the district's 24.8% and the state's 22.5%.

However, the school faces a notable challenge in mathematics, particularly during middle school. While 3rd graders achieve 79% proficiency in math, scores drop sharply to 54% in 5th grade and hit a low of 43% in 8th grade, a dip more severe than the state average. This suggests a need for targeted support in upper elementary and middle school math. In contrast, Lacassine excels in English and social studies, but struggles in math and science when compared to nearby Hathaway High School, which is in the same district and has similar enrollment. For example, Lacassine scored 71% in ELA versus Hathaway's 77%, but Hathaway's Algebra I score of 89% far exceeded Lacassine's 77%.

For a benchmark of excellence, look to Bell City High School, located just 8.67 miles away in the higher-ranked Calcasieu Parish district. Bell City consistently outperforms Lacassine in nearly every subject, with standout End-of-Course exam scores like 84% in English II and 77% in U.S. History, compared to Lacassine's 66% and 38%, respectively. Bell City also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 13.0%. While Lacassine is a solid school with strong engagement and social studies instruction, the gap in U.S. History and math highlights areas for potential growth, especially when compared to top-tier rural schools in the region.
