Dequeen School District


Summary:

The Dequeen School District in Arkansas consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a student population with a relatively high rate of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools.

Within the district, Dequeen Elementary School and Dequeen Middle School stand out as particularly high-performing, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of schools in Arkansas. These schools outperform the district and state averages on most standardized test metrics, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The small student-teacher ratios at these schools, ranging from 13.1 to 14.1, may contribute to their strong academic results.

Despite the economic challenges faced by the district's student population, the Dequeen School District as a whole appears to be providing a quality education, with its schools outperforming the state averages on most standardized test metrics. The district's relatively high spending per student and small class sizes suggest that it is effectively allocating resources to support student learning and address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
