Summary:
The 71219 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Baskin School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 317 students. Baskin School is part of the Franklin Parish school district, which is ranked 92 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Baskin School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts (ELA), is consistently lower than the state averages, with 48% proficiency in math and 56% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 60% and 70%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% and a concerning dropout rate of 3.3%. These performance issues may be linked to the school's high percentage of students (77.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the academic and socioeconomic challenges, Baskin School has a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.4, which is lower than the state average. This suggests that the school may have the potential to improve student outcomes with targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the performance gaps and attendance issues.
