The school's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is generally on par with or slightly above the Caddo Parish and Louisiana averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts.

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.

If you are in this schools district I would strongly recommend considering a nearby private school. I have had four children attend this school and it used to be great but seems to be on the decline for the last several years. My child recently had a very expensive item stolen due to school negligence and from my understanding this happens quit frequently. The office staff seemed to do the bare minimum, just enough to cover themselves. The administrative member I dealt with seemed unconcerned and was unwilling to pursue the matter. I'm thankful this is my childs last year attending this school. Close Quote

Both of my kids go Walnut Hill and have excelled beyond my expectations for their age groups. My youngest is starting first grade this year with more reading and writing abilities than some kids in other schools that are in second and third grades. My oldest is in the fifth grade and while he is struggling slightly with some of his subjects, the teachers have been great in providing him with additional assistance and extra credit work in an effort to make sure he understands the subject matter and not just shuffling through barely passing.

Kudos to the staff at Walnut Hill! It's teachers like you that make lasting impressions on their students and make them want and desire to learn and better themselves.

Please keep up the good work!! Close Quote

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.
