Fairview-Alpha Elementary & Junior High School

Summary:

Fairview-Alpha Elementary & Junior High School is a public school in Campti, Louisiana, serving 277 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Natchitoches Parish school district, which is ranked 52 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Fairview-Alpha's student population is fairly evenly split between White (45.13%) and African American (48.74%) students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a ranking between 401-748 out of 675-792 schools over the past 10 years. Its SchoolDigger rating has also been low, ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5. While African American students generally perform better than White students at Fairview-Alpha, both groups rank in the bottom 300-400 out of 434-723 and 509-570 schools, respectively. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (47%) and English Language Arts (69%) are also lower than the Natchitoches Parish (59% and 72%) and Louisiana state (59% and 69%) averages.

In comparison, the nearby Provencal Elementary & Junior High School consistently ranks in the top 150-250 out of 675-730 Louisiana elementary schools and has higher proficiency rates in Mathematics (75%) and English Language Arts (87%). Fairview-Alpha's high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, likely contributes to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent schools in the area. However, the school's performance for certain subgroups, such as African American and special education students, suggests that it may be implementing targeted interventions to support these 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.
