Pineville Elementary School

Summary:

Pineville Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Pineville, Louisiana, with a student population of 263. The school is part of the Rapides Parish school district, which is ranked 42 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 15:1, Pineville Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Rapides Parish and Louisiana state averages on various LEAP assessments in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 33% in Math (vs. 61% parish, 59% state) and 59% in ELA (vs. 73% parish, 69% state). Additionally, Pineville Elementary has very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68% to 90% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Scott M. Brame Middle School and Tioga Junior High School.

The widening achievement gap between Pineville Elementary and the Rapides Parish and Louisiana state averages suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively serve its predominantly disadvantaged student population. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the students and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Alexandria Middle Magnet School, may be crucial for Pineville Elementary to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
