District-Level NCES Analysis
Assumption Parish operates 9 public schools serving 3,031 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 3 elementary, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Assumption Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,820 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 37.4% local, 43.4% state, and 19.2% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 51/100, ranked #93 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 247.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 17.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 47.1% African American, 41.9% White, 6.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Labadieville Middle School, with a diversity index of 61.9/100.
Its largest campus is Assumption High School, enrolling 742 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Belle Rose Middle School, at 77 students, a 10x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Assumption High School accounts for 24.5% of all Assumption Parish student enrollment
That concentration means Assumption Parish-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Assumption Parish school enrollment varies 9.6× across entities
Assumption Parish school enrollment ranges from 77 students (lowest) to 742 students (highest), a spread of 665 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Assumption Parish student-counselor ratio is 247:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Assumption Parish chronic absenteeism rate is 17.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Assumption Parish is typically wider than the Assumption Parish-aggregate figure suggests.
