Similarly, in English II, only 35% of Carroll High School students were proficient or better, compared to 63% for the district and 66% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking 158 out of 165 Louisiana high schools for special education students and 305 out of 328 for low socioeconomic status students. Overall, Carroll High School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Louisiana high schools, with a ranking of 313 out of 333 in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The nearby Neville High School and Wossman High School, both part of the City of Monroe School District, perform significantly better than Carroll High School on academic measures. For example, Neville High School had 82% of students proficient or better in LEAP/English II, compared to only 35% at Carroll High School. This suggests potential racial and socioeconomic disparities, as Carroll High School's student population is overwhelmingly African American (97.87%), while Neville High School has a more diverse student body (36.49% White, 55.93% African American). Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Carroll High School (84.4% in 2022-2023) indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which likely contributes to its academic challenges and low performance.

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.
