Summary:
The city of Lutcher, Louisiana is home to a single public high school, Lutcher High School, which serves grades 7-12 and has a total enrollment of 1,043 students. The school's student body is diverse, with a nearly equal representation of White and African American students.
Lutcher High School demonstrates strong performance in English Language Arts, with 83% of students scoring proficient or better on state assessments, outpacing the statewide average of 69%. The school also excels in several end-of-course exams, with 84% proficient or better in Geometry, 80% in English II, and 76% in Biology. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, lags behind district and state averages, indicating a potential area for improvement.
Despite its overall solid performance, Lutcher High School has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from 95th out of 321 Louisiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 105th out of 333 schools in 2023-2024. This, coupled with the relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (44.49%), suggests the need for continued monitoring and targeted support to ensure all students are succeeding. The school's diverse student body may also provide opportunities for cross-cultural learning and understanding.
