Summary

Baskin School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Baskin, Louisiana, part of the Franklin Parish school district. With 317 students, Baskin School has consistently ranked between 450-583 out of around 730 Louisiana elementary schools, earning a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baskin School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores generally below state and district averages across grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math and ELA were 48% and 56%, respectively, compared to state averages of 60% and 70%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 28.1% over the past few years, and concerning dropout rates as high as 4.3% in recent years. Interestingly, nearby schools in the Franklin Parish district, such as Fort Necessity School, Gilbert School, and Crowville School, also have relatively low performance compared to state averages, suggesting systemic challenges in the district.

However, Baskin School's relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 12-13 suggests that factors other than staffing resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Additionally, the school has some bright spots, such as the 6th grade Math proficiency rate of 75% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the school and district averages. This indicates that the school may have the potential to improve if the factors contributing to this outlier performance can be identified and replicated.
