Summary

Holden High School is a public school in Holden, LA, serving 651 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade within the highly-rated Livingston Parish school district.

Holden High School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics and end-of-course (EOC) exams, where it consistently exceeds both district and state averages. For example, 78% of all students were proficient in math in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 73% for the district and 62% for the state. The school also achieves remarkable results on high-stakes EOC exams, with 93% proficiency in Algebra I and 87% in Geometry, far outpacing district and state averages. This strong performance is especially notable given that 73.58% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. The school also boasts a low dropout rate of just 0.5%, well below the state average of 3.1%. However, the graduation rate has shown some volatility, dropping from 87.5% in 2020-2021 to 77.5% in 2021-2022 before recovering to 87.8% in 2022-2023.

Compared to the nearby Maurepas School, Holden High School significantly outperforms in nearly every academic metric, despite having a slightly lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (73.58% vs. 83.06%) and a higher student-teacher ratio (11.2:1 vs. 8.5:1). This suggests effective instructional strategies and resource allocation. While math and EOC scores are a clear strength, Social Studies proficiency is a relative weakness, with only 62% of all students proficient, below the district average of 65%. Chronic absenteeism is also a persistent challenge, with a rate of 14.7% in 2024-2025, higher than the district average of 13.3%. A fascinating anomaly is the "4th grade peak," where 4th graders achieved perfect or near-perfect proficiency scores across all subjects in 2025-2026, indicating an exceptionally strong cohort or effective teaching at that grade level.
