Summary:
The city of Forest Hill, Louisiana has one school, Forest Hill Junior High School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Rapides Parish school district. This school is performing well academically, with math and English language arts proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages, particularly in 4th, 7th, and 8th grades.
Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 82.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Forest Hill Junior High School has a relatively low dropout rate of 3.3%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is quite high at 24.6%, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is relatively low, which may contribute to its academic success.
While Forest Hill Junior High School is performing well overall, there may still be room for improvement, particularly in 5th and 6th grade math proficiency, where the school's rates are lower than the district and state averages. Continued monitoring of key metrics and targeted interventions could help the school maintain and potentially improve its academic performance even further.
