Assumption High School stands out for its strong mathematics performance, consistently exceeding state averages in Algebra I (69% proficient vs. 65% state) and Geometry (71% proficient vs. 57% state). The school also boasts an impressive graduation rate of 94.9%, well above the state average of 85.0%, and a very low dropout rate of just 0.9%. However, the school underperforms in English Language Arts (66% proficient vs. 70% state) and Social Studies (53% proficient vs. 55% state), suggesting an imbalance in academic strengths. A notable concern is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.6%, which is significantly higher than both the district (28.4%) and state (22.5%) averages, creating a paradox given the school's otherwise strong outcomes.
Key metrics show that the school's state ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 101st in 2024-2025 to a projected 134th in 2025-2026. The student-teacher ratio is 15:1, and 52.83% of students are economically disadvantaged. A significant year-over-year decline in Algebra I proficiency from 82% to 69% warrants attention. Since Assumption High School is the only high school in the Assumption Parish district, its performance directly reflects the entire parish's high school education system, making it a critical focal point for local families.
