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.

I would definitely like to see more diversity in the honors classes offered at the school. I was 1 of only 8 or 9 African American students that took honors classes at Acadiana in my time there.

My experience in school have been great so far, the janitors are my absolute favorite people their so there they make sure s=everyone is okay and so friendly they deserve the word literally, my teachers are great they make sure you understand everything give you time to work on things and help you through it. Also the sro's makes u fee safe and sound they joke with you, tell you right from wrong and help you through situations.

Acadiana High Shool was overall a really good high school. Many of my teachers were awesome and genuinely cared about the well being of the students. The organisations were very enjoyable and necessary as we were able to learn about the importatnce of community and helping others.

This school is horrid, there's constant bullying that no one does anything about, blatant racism from students, and the teaching is horrible, most students have been held back twice or possibly more. The only good thing about this school is the football time (arguably)

This school helped my daughter my daughter thrive. Teachers were hands on and guidance counselors were always available.

Principal Martha Broussard is unprofessional and the least encouraging principal I have ever met. Scary that she's suppose to be an example for our children. I do not recommend this school.
