Anacoco High School

Summary:

Anacoco High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Anacoco, Louisiana, part of the Vernon Parish School District. This top-performing school consistently ranks among the best in the state, with exceptional academic results that set it apart from nearby schools like Pickering High School and Leesville High School.

Anacoco High School significantly outperforms the Vernon Parish and Louisiana state averages in standardized test scores, with 94% of students proficient or better in LEAP English Language Arts, compared to 77% in Vernon Parish and 69% statewide. However, the school has a predominantly white student population (89.63%), higher than the nearby Pickering High School (56.67%) and Leesville High School (45.02%). Despite this, Anacoco High School serves a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (47.26%), similar to the nearby schools.

Anacoco High School's consistent high performance, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, is particularly impressive given the school's socioeconomic challenges. The lower student-teacher ratio of 15.7, compared to 16.6 at Pickering High School and 19.8 at Leesville High School, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic success. Overall, Anacoco High School stands out as a model of excellence, effectively supporting and challenging its diverse student body to achieve exceptional results.

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.
