Summary

Rayville High School is a public high school in Rayville, LA, serving 341 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Richland Parish district, and it is currently facing significant challenges with academic performance and student engagement.

Rayville High School is the lowest-performing school in its immediate area across nearly every major metric, and its performance has been on a steep decline. For the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I (25%) and English II (38%) are far below those of nearby schools such as Mangham High School (55% and 48%, respectively) and Ouachita Parish High School (55% and 63%). The graduation rate has dropped to 79.1%, which is significantly lower than Mangham's 94.3% and the state average of 85.0%. Additionally, the dropout rate of 5.5% is more than three times higher than Mangham's 1.6%, and chronic absenteeism has spiked dramatically to 22.9%, now exceeding the state average. This pattern of decline is evident in the school's state ranking, which has fallen from the 27th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 6th percentile in 2025-2026.

The most striking comparison is with Mangham High School, located just 11 miles away in the same district. Despite serving a similar rural population, Mangham outperforms Rayville in every category—academics, graduation, dropout rates, and attendance. This suggests that the challenges at Rayville are not solely due to district policies or community poverty, but point to deeper issues with school leadership, culture, and instruction. The recent surge in chronic absenteeism is a critical warning sign that requires immediate attention to prevent further academic decline. For parents considering this school, it is important to be aware of these trends and to explore all available options.
