High Schools in East Poinsett County School District

The East Poinsett County School District in Arkansas has only one high school, East Poinsett County High School. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 276 students. While the school district is ranked 93 out of 252 districts in the state, East Poinsett County High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

East Poinsett County High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, but its academic performance is a concern. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) range from 26.5% to 45.9%, while Mathematics proficiency rates are mixed, with 8th grade performing above the state average at 67.5%, but Algebra and Geometry proficiency rates are low, ranging from 0% to 22.9%. Science proficiency rates are more promising, with 8th grade at 54% and Biology at 28.3%. The school's ACT Aspire test scores show a similar pattern, with ELA and Reading proficiency rates generally higher than Math and Science.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (71.74%) indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting that its performance is not consistently strong compared to other high schools in Arkansas. While the school has some bright spots, such as its relatively strong performance in 8th grade Science and Biology, there is room for improvement, particularly in Mathematics and Algebra/Geometry, to enhance the educational outcomes for its students.
