White Castle High School

Summary:

White Castle High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in White Castle, Louisiana, with a student population of 324. The school is part of the Iberville Parish school district, which is ranked 63 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a predominantly African American student body, with 83.02% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its location, White Castle High School consistently ranks in the bottom third of Plaquemine Senior High School, which is just 9 miles away, has higher test scores, a higher school ranking, and a more diverse student population. The school's academic performance is significantly below average, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates that lag behind the Iberville Parish and Louisiana state averages across a range of subjects and grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low for its African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools for these groups.

The high rates of poverty, lack of stability in staffing, and predominantly African American student population at White Castle High School may all contribute to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's small population of white students performs relatively better, ranking in the top quarter of schools for this subgroup, suggesting that the school has the potential to improve if the right resources and strategies are implemented. Addressing the school's achievement gaps and providing targeted interventions and support could be crucial for driving meaningful improvements and better serving the needs of its 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.
