Summary

Slidell High School is a large public high school in Slidell, LA, serving 1,654 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated St. Tammany Parish school district.

Slidell High has experienced a notable decline in its state ranking over the past decade, dropping from a top-tier 4-star school to its current 3-star rating (55th percentile). The most pressing issue is a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 32.4%, which is dramatically higher than the district average of 21.2% and nearly double the rates at nearby Northshore High School (19.7%) and Lakeshore High School (16.2%). This absenteeism problem is likely connected to the school's declining graduation rate of 72.6%, which now falls well below the district (82.6%) and state (85.0%) averages. While Slidell High's overall performance lags behind higher-ranked neighbors like Northshore (88th percentile) and Fontainebleau High School (5-star), it shares similar challenges with nearby Salmen High School, including high absenteeism and low graduation rates, suggesting these are community-wide issues.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. The school outperforms the state average in U.S. History (63% vs. 55%) and Biology (67% vs. 60%), though it lags behind the district in math subjects like Algebra I (61% vs. 78%). Slidell High also shows a notable strength in serving its African American students, who rank in the 71st percentile (4 stars), a significant improvement from previous years. However, the school struggles with its English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 5th percentile statewide, highlighting a critical area needing targeted support. For parents, Slidell High offers a mixed picture: a school with historical strengths and some bright spots, but one that is currently grappling with attendance and graduation challenges that require attention.
