The Vernon Parish School Board was informed by the Louisiana Department of Education that 2023-2024 district and school SPS results are out. The Vernon system has once again earned an “Academic A” rating as one of the top ten school districts in the state.  Vernon is ranked #7 in the state.  The district SPS score went up 1.4 points, which indicates the system has achieved its goal of returning to pre-Covid student performance levels.

Lisa Lohman, Assistant Superintendent/Curriculum Director pointed out six Vernon schools were rated as “Academic A” schools.  Nine schools received “Top Gains” status for an overall Academic A in student progress.  Vernon is the only Academic A district in the state for ACT index.  The system was awarded top marks in high school indexes like, student progress, strength of diploma, graduation rate and interest and opportunities.

Lohman thanked the Central Office staff, administrators, teachers, support personnel, students and parents for their work in getting such high marks statewide.
