Summary

Leesville High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Leesville, Louisiana, part of the Vernon Parish School District. With 883 students, the school has maintained a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Academically, Leesville High School generally performs above the state average on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with 64-77% of students scoring proficient or better across subjects. However, the school's performance lags behind the Vernon Parish School District average in many areas. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 83-84% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 31.4%, are notably higher than state and district norms. Interestingly, Leesville High School performs particularly well for its African American and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the top 40-50 high schools in Louisiana for these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Leesville High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below Rosepine High School and Anacoco High School, also part of the Vernon Parish School District. However, Pickering High School tends to underperform Leesville High School across several metrics. While Leesville High School excels for its minority students, there are notable gaps in performance for White and multi-racial students, suggesting the school may need to focus on addressing these disparities.
