Pine School

Summary:

Pine School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Franklinton, Louisiana, with a student population of 786. The school is part of the Washington Parish School District, which is ranked 53 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pine School consistently outperforms the Washington Parish and Louisiana state averages across a wide range of LEAP test subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Pine School had 69% proficiency in Mathematics and 74% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to 54% and 69% for the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong for female students, White students, and students with special needs, ranking in the top half or top quarter of Louisiana high schools. Pine School has also shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 134th out of 313 Louisiana high schools in 2018-2019 to 66th out of 333 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Pine School has a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students (48.47% free/reduced lunch in 2022-2023), its academic performance remains strong, suggesting effective strategies for supporting these students. However, the school should continue to address any racial disparities in student outcomes, as its ranking for African American students is lower than for White students. Compared to nearby schools like Bogalusa High School and Varnado High School, Pine School significantly outperforms, providing a higher-quality education to 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.
