Summary

Summerfield High School is a small, rural public school in Summerfield, LA, serving 258 students in grades PK through 12 under the Claiborne Parish school district, which ranks in the bottom 14th percentile of Louisiana districts.

One of the school’s biggest strengths is its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 10:1, which is far lower than the 29.2:1 ratio at the nearby Northeast Claiborne Charter. This allows for highly personalized instruction, and likely contributes to Summerfield’s stronger academic performance in English Language Arts (66% proficiency vs. 59% at Northeast) and Social Studies (41% vs. 35%). The school also boasts a strong graduation rate of 89.5%, exceeding the state average of 85.0%. However, a critical concern is its chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9%, which is over four times higher than Northeast Claiborne’s rate of just 4.7%. This creates a paradox: the students who attend regularly perform well, but many are missing too much school.

In math, performance is mixed. While overall math proficiency (36%) is below the state average (62%), the school excels in advanced courses. In the 2023-2024 school year, Algebra I proficiency was 67% (vs. 62% state) and Geometry was 65% (vs. 58% state). This suggests that while foundational math skills are a challenge, the school is highly effective at preparing students for higher-level coursework. If Summerfield could reduce its chronic absenteeism, its academic outcomes could become truly exceptional, given the strong support its low student-teacher ratio provides.
