Avoyelles High School

Summary:

Avoyelles High School is a public high school in Moreauville, Louisiana, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 536. The school is part of the Avoyelles Parish school district, which is ranked 70 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Avoyelles High School consistently underperforms compared to the Avoyelles Parish and Louisiana state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics (39%) and LEAP English Language Arts (69%) were lower than the Avoyelles Parish (49% and 62%) and Louisiana state (59% and 69%) averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 11% to 55% across different grade levels and end-of-course exams. Additionally, the school's performance is lower for subgroups such as female students, male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students compared to the overall school performance and state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Avoyelles Parish district, such as Bunkie Magnet High School and LA School for Ag Science, outperform Avoyelles High School in academic metrics such as standardized test scores and statewide rankings. For instance, Bunkie Magnet High School has a higher percentage of students proficient in LEAP Mathematics (59%) and LEAP English Language Arts (68%) compared to Avoyelles High School. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Avoyelles High School (over 50%) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. Additionally, Avoyelles High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 207 out of 313 Louisiana high schools in the 2018-2019 school year to 253 out of 333 Louisiana high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
