Summary:
The 71068 zip code in Louisiana is home to two schools: Ringgold High School and Ringgold Elementary School, both of which serve the Bienville Parish district. While the elementary school has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, the high school has faced challenges in maintaining consistent proficiency rates and statewide rankings.
Ringgold High School serves grades 6-12 with an enrollment of 249 students and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for its district. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 212th to 239th out of 321-333 Louisiana high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate is 83.2%, and its dropout rate is 3.3%. In contrast, Ringgold Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 228 students, has shown stronger academic performance, with its statewide ranking improving from 582nd to 295th out of 666-730 Louisiana elementary schools over the past three years.
The data reveals a notable disparity in the academic performance between the two schools. While Ringgold Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in both mathematics and English language arts, Ringgold High School has generally lower proficiency rates compared to the Bienville Parish and Louisiana state averages. Additionally, both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed.
