What this school's NCES data tells you
Haughton High School reports 1,360 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 65.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 21.2:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 14% above the Louisiana state mean of 18.6:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 33% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 44.2% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 29% below the Louisiana average and 15% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 340 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 38.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Bossier Parish spends $14,538 per pupil district-wide, below the Louisiana average of $17,870 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 43.0% from local sources (property taxes), 39.2% from the state, and 17.8% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 30/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
