Summary:
Graduate Arkansas Charter High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Graduate Arkansas Charter district in Little Rock, Arkansas. With a total enrollment of 381 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Arkansas high schools, indicating persistent academic challenges.
According to the data, Graduate Arkansas Charter High has significantly lower proficiency rates than the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.8%. The school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments is also well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 98.69% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,070 in 2018-2019, the school has a very high student-teacher ratio of 64.5 to 1, suggesting a potential lack of resources and individualized attention for students. These factors likely contribute to the school's consistently poor academic performance and low statewide rankings.
