Summary

V. B. Glencoe Charter School in Franklin, LA, is a single-school charter district serving 502 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in a high-poverty area, where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, which dramatically exceeds both state averages and nearby Centerville High School in St. Mary Parish. For the 2025-2026 school year, V. B. Glencoe achieved 84% proficiency in English Language Arts (compared to 70% statewide and 67% at Centerville) and 77% in Mathematics (compared to 62% statewide and 66% at Centerville). The gap is even wider on high school end-of-course exams: Geometry proficiency is 79% at V. B. Glencoe versus 36% at Centerville, and English II is 84% versus 35%. Despite being classified as an alternative school—which often serves at-risk students—V. B. Glencoe's results suggest a highly effective educational model that defies typical expectations. The school also shows a strong upward trend in graduation rates, jumping from 71.4% in 2022-2023 to 87.5% in 2024-2025, now exceeding the state average of 85.0%.

However, chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, rising from 6.4% in 2021-2022 to 20.7% in 2024-2025, though this is slightly below the state average of 22.5%. While overall performance is strong, 4th grade Social Studies (56%) was the only tested grade level falling below the state average (58%). The school excels in middle school, with standout results like 7th grade Math at 88% (versus 65% statewide) and 8th grade ELA at 89% (versus 69% statewide). The comparison with Centerville High School is stark: V. B. Glencoe, as a single-school charter district, is outperforming a traditional public school in the same region by a wide margin, highlighting the potential effectiveness of the charter model in this context.
