Summary:
The city of Ringgold, Louisiana is served by two public schools: Ringgold High School and Ringgold Elementary School. Both schools are part of the Bienville Parish school district, which is ranked 29th out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating.
Ringgold High School serves grades 6-12 with an enrollment of 249 students. The school has a graduation rate of 83.2% and a dropout rate of 3.3%. However, its academic performance lags behind parish and state averages, with 35% proficiency in mathematics and 63% proficiency in ELA. Ringgold Elementary School, serving grades PK-5 with 228 students, performs better academically, with 62% proficiency in mathematics and 69% proficiency in ELA, though still below the parish average.
Both schools face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (24.6% at each school) and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (74.7% at Ringgold High School and 58.33% at Ringgold Elementary School). These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the schools' declining performance, as indicated by their drop from 2-star and 3-star ratings to 1-star ratings in recent years. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to support the students and community in Ringgold.
