Summary:
The city of Hermitage, Arkansas is home to two schools: Hermitage Elementary School and Hermitage High School, both of which serve students from the Hermitage School District. The data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages in academic proficiency across multiple subject areas and grade levels.
Hermitage Elementary School is ranked 272 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school underperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Hermitage High School is ranked 248 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and has a 1-star rating, significantly underperforming the state average in multiple subject areas. Both schools have a high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the above-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that there may be broader, systemic challenges within the Hermitage School District that need to be addressed in order to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for the students in this community.
