CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

Central High School is a Title I public school that is part of the Catahoula Parish school district, located in Jonesville, LA with about 75 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Central High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Central High School, located on Larto Bayou Road in Jonesville, Louisiana, serves as a central educational pillar for students within the Catahoula Parish School District.

As a public institution, it plays a vital role in the Jonesville area by preparing students for life beyond graduation, whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the regional workforce.
