Academic performance

The school had a 67.7% graduation rate in 2008–09, with a 39.5% drop out rate the previous school year.[3] School Performance Scores (SPS) are given each year by the Louisiana Department of Education. The 2010-11 School Performance Score (SPS) was 65.5,[2] a significant decrease from 2009-2010 which had a SPS score of 73.5.[4] The SPS from 06–07 & 07–08 was 73.5, but declined to 70.1 in 08-09 academic year.[5] Therefore the school has remained stagnate in growth and performance from 06-10, but the 2010-11 SPS scores mark a decline in growth and performance. Louisiana's goal is for every school to have a SPS of 120 by 2014.[4]
