B Rated School District

This year, our district grew by 3.8 points, moving from a 71.2 C rating to a 75 B rating—only the second time in our history that we’ve achieved a B. The last time was nine years ago, in 2015. This achievement underscores that we are heading in the right direction, not just for our students but for our entire community.

While there is much to celebrate, here are three areas that stand out:

1. Overall District Growth

A 3.8-point growth for a district of our size is extraordinary. As Louisiana's largest school district, even a 1–2 point growth would have been a reason to celebrate. This accomplishment reflects transformative efforts across the majority of our schools and reinforces our commitment to progress.

2. Graduation Rate and Strength of Diploma

  • Our graduation rate increased by 3.9 points, meaning more students are graduating on time.
  • The Strength of Diploma index rose by 10.5 points, signifying that students are earning more advanced coursework and credentials, preparing them for future success.

3. Reduction in F-Rated Schools

In the 2020–2021 school year, we had nine F-rated schools. Today, we have reduced that number to just two. Moving seven schools out of F status is a remarkable achievement, showing how targeted efforts can transform outcomes for our students and communities.
