Gueydan High School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts. In 2023-2024, 87% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 70%. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.1 in 2022-2023, which could contribute to more personalized attention for students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 35.24% in 2021-2022 to 61.76% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools like Crowley High School, Jennings High School, and Kaplan High School, Gueydan High School generally performs better in LEAP assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a high of 22 out of 302 Louisiana high schools in 2017-2018 and a low of 171 out of 333 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance.

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.

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.
