Summary:
The Cedar Ridge School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Cedar Ridge High School, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 158th out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024 and 250th out of 295 high schools in 2022-2023.
Cedar Ridge High School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages. For example, only 18% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.7%. The school's Algebra and Geometry proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state averages. However, the school's overall Mathematics proficiency rate of 37.8% is slightly higher than the state average of 36.4%.
Despite the academic challenges, Cedar Ridge High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 to 1 and a higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,622 for the 2018-2019 school year. The school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with 68.21% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. These factors suggest that the school district is investing resources into the school, but the academic outcomes do not yet reflect a significant return on that investment.
