Ringgold High School

Summary:

Ringgold High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Ringgold, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 238 students. The school is part of the Bienville Parish School District, which is ranked 36 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating.

Ringgold High School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American students (48.32%) and a lower percentage of White students (43.7%). However, the school consistently underperforms the Bienville Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP and End-of-Course assessments, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (34%) and English Language Arts (60%) significantly lower than the district (64% and 74%) and state (59% and 69%) averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Louisiana high schools for White students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Ringgold High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 71 out of 297 Louisiana high schools in 2015-2016 (4 stars) to a current ranking of 212 out of 333 high schools in 2023-2024 (2 stars). This decline is likely due to the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.62% in 2020-2021 to 79.41% in 2022-2023, as well as a decrease in the student-teacher ratio from 12.8 in 2020-2021 to 11.3 in 2022-2023. In comparison, the nearby Haughton High School and Lakeside Junior-Senior High School generally outperform Ringgold High School on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by Ringgold High School may be unique to the school or the Bienville Parish district.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Ringgold High School

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased.
