Assumption High School, Napoleonville LA

Original Research by School Decision on Assumption High School

Assumption High School is the sole public high school in the Assumption Parish School District, located in the village of Napoleonville, the parish seat of Assumption Parish. The school serves grades nine through twelve and enrolls a student body that is diverse in its composition. About half the students are white, roughly forty percent are Black, and a smaller share are Hispanic. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic context of the region. The school is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet.

Napoleonville itself is a very small village along Bayou Lafourche, with a declining population and a traditional Louisiana small-town layout centered on the parish courthouse. Sugarcane cultivation remains the dominant economic activity in the surrounding area, and parish government and a National Guard unit are among the local institutions. The housing market in the area is significantly below national median home values, which may matter for families considering relocation. No major new housing developments or growth projects were found in publicly available information.

The data on academic outcomes at Assumption High School is notably thin. What is reported as state assessment results for this school actually covers grades three through eight, not the high school grades the school serves. That means the proficiency numbers available—while they show modest attainment in math, English, science, and social studies at those lower grade levels—do not directly describe the performance of the high school's own students. There is no high school–specific state test data, no graduation rate, no college readiness or postsecondary metrics, and no information on Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, or career and technical education programs in the data provided. A parent looking for a clear picture of how well students here perform on state assessments or how many graduate would need to ask the school or district directly for that information.

The school environment data is also sparse. There is no information on discipline, attendance, chronic absenteeism, staffing ratios, or course access. The district itself, according to publicly available research, has no recent major changes such as bond issues, curriculum shifts, or facility upgrades that would be broadly reported. That does not mean none exist, only that none surfaced in the search.

For a family considering Assumption High School, the core takeaway is that the available evidence tells a partial story. The school is a standard public high school in a small, economically modest community with a declining population. The student body is economically diverse, and the school is the only high school in the parish. But without high school test results, graduation data, or program offerings, it is difficult to assess academic strength or the range of pathways available to students. Anyone making a decision would need to visit the school, speak with administrators about outcomes, and look into the opportunities offered, especially if college preparation or career training is a priority.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
