Pineville Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Pineville Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Pineville, Louisiana, with 282 students. It is part of the Rapides Parish school district, which is ranked 31 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Pineville Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in the area of mathematics proficiency and chronic absenteeism. The school's mathematics proficiency rates lag behind the district and state averages, with only 39% of Pineville students projected to be proficient or better in math in 2024-2025, compared to 63% for the district and 60% for the state. In contrast, the nearby Tioga Junior High School and Scott M. Brame Middle School perform significantly better in mathematics, with 74% and 56% of students projected to be proficient or better, respectively.

Pineville Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 68.36% to 90.78% over the past few years, likely contributes to these challenges. However, the school's stronger performance in English Language Arts, with 73% of students projected to be proficient or better in 2024-2025, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 15.2, suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with targeted interventions and support. The nearby Alexandria Middle Magnet and Arthur F. Smith Middle Magnet schools, which have lower mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates compared to Pineville Elementary, provide a useful comparison and potential model for the school to emulate.
