Summary

Port Allen High School is a public school in Port Allen, LA, serving 452 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-rated West Baton Rouge Parish district, where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional support for Special Education students, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a dramatic improvement that far exceeds nearby schools like Brusly High School in this area. It also performs notably well for its African American students, ranking in the 61st percentile, and offers a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, creating an intimate learning environment compared to larger schools like Baton Rouge Magnet High School (17.6 to 1).

Academically, Port Allen High School shows a clear strength in math, with 75% of students proficient in Algebra I—surpassing the state average of 65% and even exceeding Brusly High School’s 73% in the prior year. However, English II proficiency lags at 48%, well below the state average of 67%, creating a 27-point gap between its best and worst subjects. The school is on a positive trajectory, improving from the 31st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026, with graduation rates rising to 86.4%, above the state average of 85.0%. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically from 37.3% to 19.9%, now below the state average of 22.5%.

While Port Allen High School trails its district peer Brusly High School (77th percentile) in overall performance, it excels in targeted areas like math instruction and special education support. A notable anomaly was a one-year spike in Biology proficiency to 84% in 2023-2024, which dropped to 48% the following year, highlighting the volatility common in smaller schools where a single teacher can have a big impact. For parents seeking a school that provides strong support for diverse learners and is actively improving, Port Allen High School offers a compelling option within the West Baton Rouge Parish district.
