Monterey High School

Summary:

Monterey High School is an alternative public school in Monterey, Louisiana, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 396 students. As part of the Concordia Parish school district, which is ranked 62 out of 122 districts in Louisiana, Monterey High School stands out for its strong academic performance, unique student demographics, and favorable learning environment.

Academically, Monterey High School consistently outperforms the Concordia Parish and Louisiana state averages across various LEAP assessments, including Mathematics and English Language Arts. In the 2023-2024 school year, 90% of Monterey High School students were proficient or better in LEAP/English Language Arts, compared to 62% for Concordia Parish and 69% for Louisiana. The school's performance is particularly impressive in Mathematics, with 82% of students proficient or better, compared to 55% for Concordia Parish and 59% for Louisiana.

Monterey High School's student population is predominantly White, at 97.47%, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. This racial homogeneity may suggest the need to explore ways to promote greater inclusivity and representation of minority students. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 51.92% to 54.29% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years. However, Monterey High School's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.3 to 14.8, could be a contributing factor to its strong academic performance, as smaller class sizes often allow for more personalized attention and support for students.

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.
