Summary:
The 71038 zip code area is home to two schools - Haynesville Junior/Senior High School and Haynesville Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly African American student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, the elementary school appears to be the stronger performer of the two, with higher statewide rankings and better test scores, particularly in English Language Arts.
Claiborne Parish has struggled to keep up with state averages, and the high school in particular has ranked in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools for the past three years. Its test scores, while generally higher than the district average, fall short of the state averages, especially in subjects like Algebra I, English I, and Biology. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools suggest a need for additional support and resources to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students.
The performance gap between the elementary and high school is noteworthy, and the student-teacher ratios, while not extremely high, could still be a factor impacting the schools' performance, especially at the high school level where more individualized attention may be needed. Overall, the data suggests that while Haynesville Elementary is the stronger performer, both institutions face challenges in terms of academic achievement, resource allocation, and supporting their economically disadvantaged student populations.
