ACT Scores for Louisiana-2009
A national tool for evaluating college readiness is the ACT score. The results for the 2009 graduating class are now in, and being reported by ACT at http://www.act.org.
On a national level some 23% of all students tested met the readiness benchmark in all four subjects, as compared with 15% in Louisiana.
Louisiana Composite Scores
Asian American/Pacific Islander... 22.3
Caucasian American/White.......... 21.5
National Average Composite.......21.1
Hispanic ......................................... 20.3
Other/no response......................... 20.2
Louisiana Average Composite... 20.1
American Indian/Alaska Native... 19.4
African American/Black................17.3
It is very important as parents and alums that we are aware of these scoring trends and that proper steps are taken to improve our results.
We must consider that Louisiana's Tuition Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) requires a score equal to the prior year's state average to be considered for the OPPORTUNITY AWARD. Currently a minimum score of 20 is required.
As college costs continue to increase, scholarship money can not and should not be left on the table due to lack of performance.

Welcome to the 2009-2010 School Year
The alumni community wishes to welcome the entire Lion family back to school for an exciting new year.
It has been a long hot summer, and we suspect everyone is ready get started. Time to renew old friendships and of course establish new ones.
This is a critical point in our school history. Our new theme around technology offers great promise. Once fully implemented , we believe our students and parents will embrace this approach to learning.
Although new tech starts with the 9th and 10th grades this year, it will eventually encompass the entire student body.
Our 11th and 12th graders are the campus leaders and we know they will continue to pursue academic excellence as they close in on "life after high school."
Best wishes to all for nothing less than a highly successful 2009-2010 school year.
