Summary:
The 71295 zip code area is home to two struggling schools - Franklin Parish High School and Winnsboro Elementary School. Both schools are performing well below state averages on standardized tests, with Franklin Parish High School ranked 274 out of 333 Louisiana high schools and Winnsboro Elementary School ranked 646 out of 675 Louisiana elementary schools.
Franklin Parish High School has a relatively balanced racial makeup, with 48.61% White and 48.36% African American students, but its End of Course (EOC) test scores are significantly below the state averages, ranging from 20% to 50% proficiency. Winnsboro Elementary School, on the other hand, has a predominantly African American student population (91.96%) and its LEAP test scores are even more dismal, with proficiency rates ranging from 10% to 45%, well below the state and district averages of 59% to 70%.
Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 70%. Despite the low student-teacher ratios, the schools are struggling to provide a quality education to their students, as evidenced by their consistently low rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger. Addressing the underlying issues, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and student support, will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for these schools within the Franklin Parish district.
