However, Geometry is a clear weakness, with only 52% proficiency compared to the state average of 57%. The school shows a positive upward trend in state ranking and test scores, but the high chronic absenteeism and dropout rate relative to the district suggest it has room to improve to match the high standards of the Lafourche Parish district.
