Pine Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Pine Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving 264 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 90 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pine Grove Elementary has several key characteristics that set it apart from nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (96.97%) compared to surrounding schools, and an extremely high percentage of students (over 89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, Pine Grove consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts that are significantly lower than the Caddo Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels. In contrast, nearby schools like Claiborne Fundamental Elementary and Blanchard Elementary have proficiency rates that are 30-50 percentage points higher than Pine Grove in many subject areas.

The school's performance has been declining over the past decade, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 0-star rating in the most recent years. This suggests that Pine Grove is struggling to keep pace with the state's overall improvement, particularly for its most vulnerable student populations, including female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The combination of high poverty, lack of racial diversity, and consistently low academic performance indicates that Pine Grove may be facing significant challenges related to resource allocation, effective teaching practices, and addressing the unique needs of its student population.

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.
