Summary

Union Parish High School in Farmerville, LA, serves 579 students in grades 6 through 12 and is part of the Union Parish school district, which has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 32nd percentile statewide.

This school faces significant challenges, with academic performance consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools over the past decade. The most recent data shows a troubling decline to the 7th percentile statewide. A critical area of concern is 8th grade math, where only 6% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—far below the state average of 52%. End-of-course exam scores also show alarming volatility, with Algebra I proficiency dropping from 62% to 27% and Biology falling from 52% to 27% in just two years. Chronic absenteeism has been a major issue, spiking to 33.2% in 2023-2024 before dropping to 18.8% in 2024-2025. Despite these struggles, the school maintains a graduation rate close to the state average (81.4% vs. 85.0%) and a lower dropout rate (2.4% vs. 3.1%), suggesting students are earning diplomas without meeting key academic benchmarks.

The performance gap with nearby Choudrant High School in the Lincoln Parish district is stark—Choudrant ranks in the 97th percentile with 92% ELA and 90% math proficiency, compared to Union Parish's 40% ELA and much lower math scores. Union Parish also struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate (18.8%) that is significantly higher than Choudrant's (11.7%). The school's decline is broad-based, affecting all student groups, and urgent intervention is needed to reverse this downward trend and ensure students are truly prepared for life after high school.
