GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ouachita Parish High School overall is a very good school. Most of the staff are nice and we have an amazing principal. The education especially getting ready for college is excellent. We have a ACT prep class to help students get a higher grade on the test. I love Ouachita!

This school isn't that bad. Although some of the teachers get mad for no reason, the learning/teaching concepts aren't that difficult. The teachers are easy to get along with. In some classes, the homework could be a bit much, though. This school's band is GREAT too. I believe that they deserve more...
