Summary:
The Bienville Parish school district in Louisiana is home to two high schools: Arcadia High School and Ringgold High School. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and overall quality.
Arcadia High School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher 2-star statewide ranking from SchoolDigger compared to Ringgold High School's 1-star rating. Arcadia also boasts higher proficiency rates across most LEAP test subjects and grade levels, suggesting a more robust academic program. In contrast, Ringgold High School struggles academically, with lower proficiency rates than the parish and state averages in many areas, particularly in 8th grade math at just 14% proficiency.
Both schools have similar graduation rates (83.2%) and dropout rates (3.3%), which are in line with the Bienville Parish averages. However, they face challenges in areas such as high chronic absenteeism rates (around 24-25%) and relatively low math proficiency, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across the district.
