Summary

Haynesville Elementary School in Haynesville, LA, serves 304 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in a rural area with high economic need, where 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) performance, with 64% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—close to the state average and well above the Claiborne Parish district average of 52%. However, math is a significant challenge, with only 33% of students proficient, a sharp drop from 52% two years prior. A particular concern is the "4th grade math cliff," where just 18% of 4th graders are proficient, compared to 47% in 3rd grade. Despite these academic struggles, Haynesville has made a remarkable improvement in chronic absenteeism, now at 18.8%—lower than the district (23.2%), state (22.5%), and nearby schools like Browning Elementary School (35.2%) and Brown Upper Elementary School (29.6%). The school also offers a competitive student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, better than North Webster Lower Elementary School (15.1:1) and North Webster Upper Elementary School (not specified but comparable).

Haynesville Elementary has experienced a notable decline from its former status as a 3- or 4-star school to its current 2-star rating (32nd percentile). It remains the highest-ranked school in Claiborne Parish, outperforming Homer Elementary School (2nd percentile) and comparable to North Webster Upper Elementary School (22nd percentile) in Webster Parish. The school's strong ELA scores and low absenteeism are key advantages, but addressing the math decline and supporting all students effectively will be critical to reversing its multi-year downward trend.
