What is the best high school in Lafayette?
Early College Academy in Lafayette, Louisiana ranks first among high schools in Lafayette with a Success Index (US) of 80.4 out of 100 (Enrollment: 257).
How are high schools in Lafayette ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.
Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
