District-Level NCES Analysis
Grant Parish operates 8 public schools serving 2,971 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Grant Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,781 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 54.3% local, 33.4% state, and 12.4% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 23/100, ranked #157 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 239.6:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 9.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.7% White, 11.8% African American, 0.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Verda Elementary School, with a diversity index of 48.2/100.
Its largest campus is Grant High School, enrolling 569 students (20% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Colfax Elementary School, at 126 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Grant High School accounts for 19.2% of all Grant Parish student enrollment
That concentration means Grant Parish-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates 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.
Grant Parish school enrollment varies 4.5× across entities
Grant Parish school enrollment ranges from 126 students (lowest) to 569 students (highest), a spread of 443 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Grant Parish student-counselor ratio is 240:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Grant Parish chronic absenteeism rate is 9.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
