Starks High School

Starks Public School represents a unique educational model in Calcasieu Parish as an integrated PreK-12 campus housed on one facility with a single administrative team. This distinctive structure creates a cohesive, tight-knit school community with just 327 students served across all grade levels. The school's exceptional student-teacher ratio of 9:1 significantly exceeds district averages, ensuring students receive personalized attention and individualized instruction from faculty.

Located in a rural setting, Starks High School offers AP courses and a Gifted & Talented program alongside its comprehensive curriculum. Students benefit from small class sizes that foster meaningful interactions between teachers and learners, particularly important in the high school years when academic rigor increases. The school enrolls students with diverse backgrounds, with a 5% minority enrollment and 52% economically disadvantaged students, reflecting the area's demographics.

For families seeking a smaller, community-oriented educational environment where students are known individually by their teachers, Starks offers a compelling alternative to larger consolidated high schools. The school's PK-12 structure means younger siblings can transition smoothly through elementary and middle school before reaching the high school campus, with all teachers and staff operating under one comprehensive educational vision. This arrangement supports strong school culture and continuity in academic and behavioral expectations from early childhood through high school graduation.
