Summary

Ebarb School in Noble, LA, is a small alternative public school serving 232 students from Pre-K through 12th grade within the Sabine Parish school district, where a majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Ebarb School stands out for its exceptional performance in Mathematics and Science, with 75% of all students proficient in Math in the 2025-2026 school year—far surpassing nearby Pleasant Hill High School (27%) and Converse High School (58%), and nearly matching top-performing Negreet High School (77%). The school also boasts a remarkable 0.0% dropout rate for four consecutive years, a perfect record that dramatically outperforms the state average of 3.1%. Additionally, students who take end-of-course exams are exceptionally well-prepared, achieving 94% proficiency in Algebra I and 84% in Biology—the highest scores among all nearby schools.

However, Ebarb School faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which affects 33.6% of students—higher than the district (28.2%) and state (22.5%) averages, and notably worse than Negreet High School (22.3%). This creates an interesting paradox: the school is highly effective with students who attend regularly, yet a substantial portion of the student body is disengaged. Performance in English Language Arts and Social Studies is also inconsistent, with proficiency rates sometimes dropping below district averages. For parents, Ebarb School offers strong academic instruction in math and science, but improving attendance and boosting English scores are key areas for growth to ensure all students benefit from its effective teaching.
