Summary

Acadiana High School is a public high school located in Lafayette, Louisiana, serving 1,835 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lafayette Parish School District, which is ranked 27th out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Acadiana High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the Lafayette Parish and Louisiana state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in LEAP/Algebra I (60%), LEAP/Geometry (63%), and LEAP/U.S. History (59%) were all below the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well, but Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing significantly lower.

While Acadiana High School's four-year graduation rate has been relatively stable, ranging from 81.2% to 87.3% over the past few years, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.9% to 38.3% during the same period. This is significantly higher than the state average and may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Nearby high-performing schools, such as David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy and Early College Academy, have significantly higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
