When compared to nearby high schools in the Tangipahoa Parish district, such as Ponchatoula High School and Hammond High Magnet School, Loranger High School generally performs worse academically. The school's performance has also declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower SchoolDigger star ratings, from 2 stars in 2014-2015 to 1 star in recent years.
