Best Public Schools in Oark, AR


Summary:

The city of Oark, Arkansas is home to two small public schools: Oark Elementary School and Oark High School. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population and have consistently underperformed compared to the Jasper School District and Arkansas state averages on standardized assessments.

Oark Elementary School, with just 106 students, has ranked in the bottom 30-40% of Arkansas elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school's proficiency rates in English, reading, math, and science are significantly lower than district and state averages. Similarly, Oark High School, with only 68 students, has ranked in the bottom 25-30% of Arkansas high schools and has proficiency rates well below the district and state in core subjects.

Despite the small school sizes and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools in Oark are struggling to achieve academic success. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 85% at both schools, indicates that the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Addressing the root causes of these challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the Oark community.
