Summary
West Monroe High School is a public high school serving 2,160 students in grades 8-12 in West Monroe, Louisiana, which is part of the Ouachita Parish School District. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 92nd out of 321 Louisiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 138th out of 329 in 2024-2025. While the school performs relatively well for its female and male students, it struggles with the academic achievement of its Asian, African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial student groups, as well as its English Language Learners and Homeless students.
West Monroe High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 82.7% and 88.7% over the past few years, which is generally on par with the state average. The school performs better than the state and district averages in most subject areas, with particularly strong results in Geometry, English II, and English I. However, it lags behind in Algebra I, U.S. History, and Biology compared to the state and district. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its relatively high student-teacher ratio, suggests that it may face challenges in providing adequate resources and support for its student population.
Interestingly, West Ouachita High School, another school in the Ouachita Parish district, outperforms West Monroe High School in several areas, including statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. Additionally, Sterlington High School, also in the Ouachita Parish district, is a standout performer, ranking in the top 29 out of 329 Louisiana high schools in 2024-2025 and consistently achieving high academic proficiency scores. In contrast, schools in the neighboring City of Monroe School District, such as Carroll High School and Wossman High School, struggle with much lower academic proficiency and statewide rankings compared to West Monroe High School.
