The Louisiana Department of Education has released the 2025 District and School Performance Scores, and Sabine Parish Schools is once again celebrating sustained academic progress. For the fourth consecutive year, the district’s overall performance has improved, with the 2025 District Performance Score rising by 1.3 points to 88.6.
District officials say the continued upward trend reflects the daily dedication of students, teachers, and staff who work to deliver meaningful instruction, build strong relationships, and create supportive environments across all campuses.
Four schools maintained their A ratings: Ebarb, Many High, Negreet, and Zwolle High.
Sixty percent of district schools increased their School Performance Scores, including Converse, Ebarb, Many Elementary, Many High, Many Junior High, and Pleasant Hill.
Converse and Many High posted the largest gains, with SPS increases of 4.6 and 4.7 points, respectively.
Zwolle Elementary continued its strong trajectory, maintaining momentum from last year’s notable 6.5-point growth.
Five schools earned Top Gains status for exceptional LEAP progress: Converse, Florien, Many High, Negreet, and Zwolle High.
Two schools earned the Opportunity Honoree designation for strong support of at-risk student populations, including English learners, economically disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities: Many High and Negreet.
District leaders attribute Sabine Parish’s consistent progress to ongoing efforts to strengthen instruction, elevate student engagement, and prioritize the whole child. Educators across the parish continue to focus on creating safe, encouraging, and academically rigorous learning environments.
Teachers, counselors, and school leaders have also emphasized building students’ confidence, fostering high expectations, and sustaining positive school cultures that contribute to long-term success.
“These results reflect the hard work happening in every classroom, every day,” said Superintendent Shane Wright. “Our teachers and staff continue to step forward with purpose, ensuring that students are challenged academically and supported socially and emotionally. I am proud of the progress our schools have made, and I’m confident that our best days are still ahead. Together, we are building a stronger Sabine Parish, one student at a time.”
Sabine Parish Schools remains committed to its mission of Building a Stronger Sabine Parish, One Student at a Time. District leaders say this year’s results demonstrate what is possible when schools, families, and community partners unite with a shared vision of ensuring success for every child.
With momentum on their side, Sabine Parish Schools aim to continue this pattern of growth in the years ahead.
