Top High Schools in Louisiana

topschoolsintheusa March 20, 2019

In the state of Louisiana, there are 64 parishes and 70 school districts. Each parish is governed by a council of elected officials who are responsible for levying taxes, approving budgets, and appointing county officials. School districts are also governed by locally elected boards of directors that have authority over district operations, including setting academic standards, approving budgets, and hiring staff. Each district is responsible for providing educational services to students in its jurisdiction.

The Louisiana Department of Education oversees both parish and school district operations in the state. This department establishes curriculum standards and administers educational programs throughout Louisiana. It also provides technical assistance to local education agencies on matters such as school finance and special education services. In addition, the Department helps ensure that all schools meet certain educational requirements mandated by state law. Finally, it works with local governments to promote educational excellence in Louisiana‘s schools by providing resources for teachers and administrators alike.

There are many public and private high schools in the state of Louisiana. It is rather difficult for you to choose one that fits you most. In order for you to better evaluate your choice, we have ranked these high schools based on latest SAT/ACT scores, graduation rates, and state test scores from the Louisiana Department of Education.
