Franklin Parish High School

Summary:

Franklin Parish High School is a public high school in Winnsboro, Louisiana, serving 792 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Franklin Parish School District, which is ranked 99 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Franklin Parish High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools, with proficiency rates well below the state average on End-of-Course exams. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 31% in Geometry, 46% in English II, and 39% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages of 58%, 66%, and 57%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and Special Education students. In contrast, the nearby Mangham High School in the Richland Parish district has higher academic performance.

Franklin Parish High School also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.09% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 46.65% rate at Mangham High School. However, Franklin Parish High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, compared to 18.1 at Mangham High School. This suggests that the school may have an opportunity to leverage its smaller class sizes to address the academic challenges faced by its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
