Hicks High School

Summary:

Hicks High School is an alternative public school in Leesville, Louisiana, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Vernon Parish school district, which is ranked 19th out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hicks High School consistently outperforms the Vernon Parish and Louisiana state averages in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency across multiple grade levels and end-of-course exams. For example, in 2023-2024, Hicks High School's mathematics proficiency rate for all grades is 63%, compared to 59% for Louisiana. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.88% to 51.92% over the past three school years, and a lower student-teacher ratio (16.2 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Pitkin High School and Simpson High School.

Hicks High School's student population is overwhelmingly white (93.48%), which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. This raises questions about the school's diversity and inclusiveness, but the school's strong academic performance, combined with its support for economically disadvantaged students, suggests it may be a model for other alternative schools in the region.

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.
