The school shows a clear split in academic performance: it excels in humanities and sciences like U.S. History (77.48% proficient, above the state average of 70.17%) and English II Reading (66.67% proficient, above the state average of 59.88%), but struggles significantly in Algebra I, where only 42.34% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%.

With 47.83% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a moderately economically diverse population. The contrast between strong humanities scores and weak Algebra I results suggests a need for targeted math intervention, especially given the school's ample resources and small class sizes. Overall, La Grange High School offers a strong foundation in English and history but requires focused improvement in mathematics to match its district's higher performance level.
