Dutchtown High School is a 5A school that was completed in 2003 in Geismar, an unincorporated area of Ascension Parish located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is within the Ascension Parish School Board. Dutchtown Middle and Bluff Middle Schools feed into Dutchtown High.[2] The architecture is based on that of the old Dutchtown High, which was situated across the highway at the current Dutchtown Middle School.

According to the Louisiana School Performance Scores/Letter Grades released by the Louisiana Department of Education, Dutchtown High School is an "A" school and is the #1 high-performing open-enrollment public high school in the state of Louisiana.[3]

In 2017, Dutchtown High School was named a 2017 World-Leading Learner and was invited to join the Global Learning Network (GLN), a community of educators from schools that develop, practice, and share innovative approaches to education.[4]

In the Fall of 2024, Prairieville High School opened to relieve a large portion of Dutchtown's enrollment.[5]
