Summary

White Castle High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in White Castle, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 295 students. The school is part of the Iberville Parish school district, which is ranked 69 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Analysis of White Castle High School's data reveals several areas of concern. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the Iberville Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics (40%) and LEAP English Language Arts (60%) significantly lower than the district (56% and 68%) and state (60% and 70%) averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.7% to 89.7%, is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate, ranging from 1.3% to 4.3%, has been higher than the state average. White Castle High School has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with the percentage of chronically absent students ranging from 21.7% to 24.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Plaquemine Senior High School in the Iberville Parish district and Liberty High School, a public magnet school in the East Baton Rouge Parish district, White Castle High School consistently underperforms on academic measures. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges, including low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
