National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Youngsville has more public-school enrollment than 71% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Acadiana Renaissance Charter Academy enrolls 49.6% of Youngsville's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

3 of Youngsville's 5 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

The composite and staffing measures point in different directions

Youngsville's average Resource Investment Index sits at the 87th percentile, while its teacher-staffing measure sits at the 6th percentile. The 81-point percentile gap is a reminder that the index is not a class-size score: counselors, gifted-program reporting, and attendance also affect it. Compare those components directly when two schools have similar index totals; the same headline score can arise from a different mix of reported resources.

Acadiana Renaissance Charter Academy accounts for 49.6% of all Youngsville public-school enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Youngsville a distant remainder — means Youngsville-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Youngsville school enrollment varies 6.9× across entities

Youngsville school enrollment ranges from 534 students (lowest) to 3,669 students (highest), a spread of 3,135 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Youngsville student-teacher ratio is 22.8:1 — high (typically associated with larger urban scale or staffing constraints that have widened the headcount gap)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
