Capitol High School is a public high school named after the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
History
Capitol Junior - Senior High School opened in 1950 as the second public secondary school for African Americans in the city.[1] The school's campus on Шаблон:Convert was designed by Baton Rouge architect A. Hays Town.[2] In 1959, the high school and middle school split, and the middle school remained in the original building. The Capitol Senior High School building was constructed in 1960.[1]
The state took control of the Capitol High in 2008, citing low performance.[3] Capitol High School became part of the RSD-Capitol Education Foundation.[4] A plan to make it a KIPP school for the 2022-2023 school year fell through.[5] Local control as part of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System returned during the 2023-2024 school year.[6][7]
Capitol High's student body was 98.2 percent African American in 2021. Most students are "economically disadvantaged" and the school's test scores are very low.[8]
