Summary

Zwolle High School is a small, rural school in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, serving 270 students in grades 7 through 12, with nearly 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school is on a strong upward trajectory, recently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 70th percentile statewide after a low point just a few years ago, signaling that recent changes are making a real difference for students.

When compared to nearby Many High School, Zwolle shows distinct strengths and areas for growth. Zwolle outperforms Many in English II (83% proficient vs. 69%) and Biology (70% vs. 66%), and matches or exceeds it in Geometry and English I. However, Many has an edge in U.S. History (71% vs. 46%) and Algebra I (81% vs. 75%). A standout achievement is Zwolle’s performance with its Native American students, who ranked #1 in the state in 2024-2025, suggesting a highly effective program for this group. The school has also made impressive progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 40.2% to 26.0% in one year, though this rate remains above the state average of 22.5%.

Despite these gains, Zwolle faces key challenges. Social Studies is a persistent weakness, with only 44% of students proficient overall, driven by low scores in 7th Grade Social Studies and U.S. History. Additionally, there is a significant equity gap: while the school excels with female students (79th percentile), male students rank much lower (43rd percentile), and performance for African American students is also an area needing attention. Addressing these disparities and strengthening Social Studies instruction are the biggest opportunities for Zwolle to continue its upward climb and ensure success for every student.
