Summary:
The city of Stamps, Arkansas has only one public high school, Lafayette County High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school is part of the Lafayette County School District, which is ranked 241 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lafayette County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools, with a ranking of 279 out of 305 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 10.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0% proficient or better in Algebra. The school also has a high percentage of students (81.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the relatively high spending per student ($13,752) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 4.5 to 1, the data suggests that the school and district are struggling to effectively translate these resources into improved student learning and achievement. The consistently low academic performance and equity concerns raise questions about the school's ability to provide the necessary support and resources for its students to succeed.
