Northshore High School

Summary:

Northshore High School is a public high school in Slidell, Louisiana, serving 1,681 students in grades 9-12. As part of the St. Tammany Parish school district, which is ranked 21 out of 122 districts in the state, Northshore High consistently outperforms state and district averages in standardized test scores across multiple subjects.

Northshore High School's academic excellence is evident in its strong statewide ranking, consistently placing in the top 50 high schools in Louisiana over the past decade. The school's diverse student population, with a significant representation of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students, demonstrates its ability to support the success of various student subgroups, including female, male, and students with special needs. Compared to nearby high schools, such as Fontainebleau High School and Slidell High School, Northshore High consistently outperforms its peers in academic achievement and student-teacher ratios.

While Northshore High School is a high-performing institution, the data suggests that there may be room for improvement in supporting the academic success of Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who have lower rankings compared to other subgroups. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that there is a population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds who may require additional support and resources.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I am currently a sophomore at Northshore High. I love this school because it really is challenging and these teachers are excellent. I am in honors classes and they can b difficult, but that gives me the oppurtunity to learn more. I would definitely send my kid to Northshore or attend Northshore if I were you! Close Quote

Open Quote This school brings the better of every individual to their highest potential. They have a very strong discipline system that is not used very often as the children at this school are well behaved. The academics are wonderful, and they after school activities can keep any child in need of something to do busy.

Great school, if you're looking for one and this is in your district... Get right on it! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
