Marksville High School is a high school located in the city of Marksville, Louisiana, United States. It is a 7th through 12th grade school with 915 students enrolled.[3] [4]

The school dates to 1856, when it was established through the work of superintendent Pierre-Adolphe Lafargue, a native of the Pyrenees Mountains region of France. Lafargue was also a mayor of Marksville.[5]

Academic performance

The school had a 47.7% graduation rate in 2008–09, with a 59.5% drop out rate the previous school year.[6] School Performance Scores (SPS) are given each year by the Louisiana Department of Education. The 2010-11 School Performance Score (SPS) was 45.5,[4] a significant decrease from 2009-2010 which had a SPS score of 73.5.[7] The SPS from 06–07 & 07–08 was 73.5, but declined to 70.1 in 08-09 academic year.[8] Therefore, the school has remained stagnant in growth and performance from 06-10, but the 2010-11 SPS scores mark a decline in growth and performance. Louisiana's goal is for every school to have a SPS of 120 by 2014.[7]
