Summary:
The Franklin Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools like Gilbert School and Baskin School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while others like Winnsboro Elementary School lag significantly behind.
Gilbert School and Baskin School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with 60-70% of their students scoring proficient or better on LEAP tests in both math and English language arts. These two elementary schools are also the highest-ranked in the district, earning a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, other schools like Winnsboro Elementary School struggle, with significantly lower proficiency rates that fall behind the district and state averages.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 24.6% and dropout rates of 3.3%, both of which are above the state averages. Additionally, the schools in Franklin Parish serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 71-94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the student-teacher ratios are generally lower than the state average, these economic and attendance challenges likely contribute to the wide disparities in academic achievement observed in the data.
