Summary

Pine School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Franklinton, Louisiana, part of the Washington Parish School District. With a student population of 758 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1, Pine School has consistently ranked in the top 100 high schools in Louisiana over the past several years, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pine School's academic performance is particularly strong, consistently outperforming the Washington Parish district and the state of Louisiana in proficiency rates across various LEAP assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, Pine School had 65% proficiency in Mathematics compared to 56% for the district and 60% for the state, and 78% proficiency in English Language Arts compared to 70% for the state. The school's performance is especially impressive in 8th grade English Language Arts, where it has maintained over 80% proficiency in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to the nearby Varnado High School and Franklinton High School, both also part of the Washington Parish School District, Pine School significantly outperforms them in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. However, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may require additional attention and resources to address.
