Summary:
C.E. Byrd High School is a public high school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving 1,526 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Caddo Parish school district.
C.E. Byrd High School consistently outperforms the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages in End-of-Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates across various subjects, including Algebra I, Geometry, English I, English II, U.S. History, and Biology. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 60% in Algebra I, 66% in Geometry, 79% in English II, and 77% in Biology, compared to the Caddo Parish averages of 48%, 41%, 58%, and 52%, respectively. The school has also maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top quarter of Louisiana high schools in recent years, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year.
Compared to nearby high schools, such as Green Oaks Performing Arts Academy and Woodlawn Leadership Academy, both within the Caddo Parish district, C.E. Byrd High School stands out as a higher-performing institution, with significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students, suggests potential areas for improvement, and the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (43.05% in 2022-2023) indicates that it serves a significant population of students from low-income backgrounds, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
