Summary

Pine School in Franklinton, LA, is a public school serving 738 students in grades 6-12 within the Washington Parish district, and it stands out as a high-performing academic oasis in a region where most nearby schools struggle to reach the top half of state rankings.

Pine School has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past six years, placing it in the top 25% of high schools statewide. Its academic proficiency rates are often double or triple those of nearby schools. For example, on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, 91% of Pine School students scored proficient, compared to just 68% at Franklinton High School and 22% at Bogalusa High School. In English I, Pine School’s proficiency rate is 85%, while Varnado High School sits at 71% and Bogalusa at 45%. The school also excels in serving all students, with African American students ranking in the 87th percentile statewide and special education students in the 80th percentile—a remarkable turnaround from the previous year. However, social studies proficiency (45%) lags behind the state average (55%), marking a clear area for growth.

Despite its academic strengths, Pine School faces a growing challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has tripled from 7.6% in 2021-2022 to 21.7% in 2024-2025. This trend may be linked to a recent dip in the graduation rate to 81.3%, though historically the school has averaged 88.5% over the prior four years. With a higher student-teacher ratio (15.6:1) than its peers, Pine School’s success appears driven by effective instruction and school-wide systems rather than smaller class sizes. For families in the area, Pine School offers a standout public education option, but addressing attendance will be key to sustaining its upward trajectory.
