Summary

O. Comeaux High School is a public high school in Lafayette, LA, serving 873 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Lafayette Parish school district, which is ranked 27th out of 116 districts in Louisiana. The school has historically been a solid mid-tier performer, but recent data shows a significant decline, with its state ranking dropping to the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, its lowest point in nearly a decade. This decline is not mirrored by nearby schools like Lafayette High School and Southside High School, which have maintained strong rankings in the 80th-89th percentile over the same period.

The drop in ranking is driven by a sharp decline in LEAP test scores across most subjects, with Geometry proficiency falling from 74% to 42% and English II dropping from 87% to 61% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has risen to 36.4%, the highest among standard comprehensive high schools in the district and well above the state average of 22.5%. The graduation rate has also become volatile, dropping from 91.0% in 2022-2023 to 82.2% in 2024-2025, a concerning trend when combined with rising absenteeism and falling test scores.

Despite these challenges, the school has shown notable success with certain student groups, though performance varies widely. The school's overall situation contrasts sharply with district magnet schools like Early College Academy (ranked #1 in the state) and David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy (ranked #11), which have near-perfect test scores and very low chronic absenteeism. O. Comeaux is at a critical juncture, with systemic issues—including a dramatic drop in test scores, high absenteeism, and a volatile graduation rate—that require urgent attention to reverse the recent decline.
