High Schools in Lincoln Parish

The Lincoln Parish school district in Louisiana is home to two high schools: Ruston High School and Choudrant High School. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, Choudrant High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state.

Choudrant High School is ranked 22nd out of 333 Louisiana high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Ruston High School is ranked 85th with a 4-star rating. Choudrant High School's exceptional performance is evident in its students' consistently high standardized test scores, which exceed the Lincoln Parish and Louisiana state averages in all subjects. Additionally, Choudrant High School has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically advantaged student population.

While Ruston High School also performs well, with scores above the state average in most subjects, it lags behind Choudrant High School in overall academic achievement. The racial composition of the two schools also differs significantly, with Choudrant High School having a much higher percentage of white students compared to Ruston High School. These factors, along with the slightly lower student-teacher ratio at Choudrant High School, may contribute to the school's exceptional performance and ranking within the Lincoln Parish district.
