While White Hills Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (82.35%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 88% to 99% African American, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 411-625 out of 675-792 schools. The school's performance on LEAP tests is generally below the East Baton Rouge Parish and Louisiana state averages, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, White Hills has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.95% to 94.12% over the past 3 years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing White Hills Elementary to the nearby Brownfields Elementary School, which is located just 0.06 miles away, it becomes clear that White Hills is underperforming academically, with Brownfields consistently outperforming White Hills on LEAP tests in both mathematics and English language arts. The data suggests that White Hills Elementary School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic needs of its student population, such as increased professional development for teachers, expanded access to educational resources, and community partnerships.

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.
