General Trass High School

Summary:

General Trass High School is a public high school in Lake Providence, Louisiana, serving 248 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the East Carroll Parish school district, which is ranked 109 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

General Trass High School stands out for several key reasons. Over 99% of its student population is African American, in contrast to the nearby Oak Grove High School, which has a more diverse student body. Academically, General Trass High School has consistently underperformed compared to state and local averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 28% to 66% across different subjects. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools for several years, including as low as 311 out of 326 schools in 2021-2022.

Digging deeper, General Trass High School faces significant challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population. Between 81.78% and 88.19% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. This likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, which are particularly pronounced for female students, male students, and students from low-income backgrounds. While the data paints a concerning picture, the school's past performance suggests there may be opportunities for improvement with the right resources and strategies.

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.
