Summary:
The city of Springhill, Louisiana is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance levels, with North Webster High School showing signs of improvement, while Brown Upper Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years.
North Webster High School stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 59.25% White and 34.77% African American students. While the school's performance on state assessments is generally below district and state averages, it has shown improvement, with its statewide ranking increasing from 232 out of 326 Louisiana high schools in 2021-2022 to 234 out of 333 in 2023-2024. In contrast, Brown Upper Elementary School has a higher percentage of African American students (57.22%) and consistently underperforms on state assessments compared to the district and state averages.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role in student performance, as the schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Browning Elementary School and Brown Upper Elementary School, tend to have lower performance on state-wide assessments. The data suggests that the Webster Parish school district may need to provide additional support and targeted interventions to address these disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
