Summary

Ringgold Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Ringgold, Louisiana, part of the Bienville Parish School District. With 228 students, the school has struggled with low performance, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools for the past several years.

Ringgold Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.9% to 32.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies are generally lower than the Bienville Parish and Louisiana averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Ringgold's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 62%, compared to 65% for Bienville Parish and 60% for Louisiana. The school's performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, with African American students and low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively well compared to their peers statewide, while White students and male students struggle.

Interestingly, Ringgold Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 11.3 over the past few years, lower than the nearby Haughton Elementary and Elm Grove Elementary, which have ratios between 13.6 and 18.3. However, these nearby schools generally outperform Ringgold Elementary across various metrics, including test scores and chronic absenteeism, suggesting that Ringgold may need to look to these higher-performing schools for best practices and strategies to improve.
