Summary:
There is only one high school located in the Graduate Arkansas Charter district, which is a public charter school serving grades 9-12. Graduate Arkansas Charter High has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Arkansas high schools over the past 3 school years, with a ranking of 293 out of 305 schools in the most recent year. The school is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.
Graduate Arkansas Charter High struggles academically, with test scores significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 6.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.8%. The school also has an extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 98.69%, indicating a very economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the school has a very high student-teacher ratio of 64.5 to 1, which is well above the recommended ratios for effective instruction.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student at $11,070, the combination of very low test scores, high poverty rates, and high student-teacher ratios likely contributes to the school's poor outcomes. Significant improvements in instructional quality, resource allocation, and support for the school's economically disadvantaged population would be necessary to turn around the school's performance.
