Summary:
The Washington Parish school district in Louisiana is home to three high schools: Pine School, Franklinton High School, and Varnado High School. Based on the available data, Pine School stands out as the highest-performing high school in the district, outpacing the other two schools and the parish/state averages on key metrics.
Pine School ranks 83rd out of 329 Louisiana high schools and receives a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the other schools in the parish on LEAP test proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I. Pine School also has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% compared to the other two schools, which all report the same rates.
In contrast, Varnado High School struggles the most, with significantly lower test proficiency rates than the other schools and the parish/state averages. Varnado High School also has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 72.46%, suggesting the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population. The variation in student-teacher ratios, with Franklinton High School and Varnado High School having lower ratios, may also contribute to the differences in academic outcomes across the district.
