Summary:
The 71422 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Dodson High School, which serves grades PK-12 and has a total enrollment of 303 students. The school is part of the Winn Parish school district, which is ranked 62 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dodson High School has a 83.2% four-year graduation rate and a 3.3% dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's performance on LEAP tests varies across grade levels and subject areas, with some grades and subjects performing above the Winn Parish and Louisiana averages, and others performing below. In general, the school's math proficiency rates are lower than the district and state averages, while its English Language Arts proficiency rates are closer to or slightly below the district and state averages. The school has a high percentage of students (76.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Dodson High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 for the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a positive factor, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's 24.6% chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year suggests that attendance and engagement may be areas of concern. Overall, Dodson High School appears to be serving a unique population of students with specialized needs, and continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to support the success of this alternative educational institution.
