Summary

Ringgold Elementary School is a small, rural PK-5 school in Ringgold, LA, serving 195 students within the Bienville Parish school district, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the upper half of Louisiana districts.

Ringgold Elementary stands out for its remarkable recent turnaround in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 32.5% in 2023-2024 to 16.2% in 2024-2025—now significantly better than the state average of 22.5% and far below its own district's 21.0% rate. The school also boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 7.8:1, far lower than nearby competitors like Elm Grove Elementary School (12.2:1) and Central Elementary School (18:1). However, academic performance remains inconsistent: while 4th graders excelled in Math (65% proficient) and ELA (75%) in 2025-2026, 5th graders struggled significantly in Math (45%) and Social Studies (35%). This variability suggests success may depend heavily on specific teachers or grade-level teams rather than a uniformly strong school-wide system.

Despite its small class sizes, Ringgold has not fully realized its potential. For comparison, Central Elementary School (11.26 miles away) achieves far higher test scores (75% Math vs. Ringgold's 47%) with a much higher student-teacher ratio of 18:1, highlighting an instructional effectiveness gap. The school shows a notable strength with its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 72nd percentile in 2024-2025, but this success is inconsistent year-to-year. Overall, Ringgold Elementary is a school on an upward trajectory, having improved from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, but it still has work to do to match the performance of its peers in the region.
