Summary:
The Caddo Hills School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Caddo Academy, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has access to more resources than the state average, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has been inconsistent across different subject areas and grade levels.
Caddo Academy's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 125th out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024 to 212th out of 295 high schools in 2022-2023. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as ATLAS and ACT Aspire, is mixed compared to state averages, with some subject areas and grade levels exceeding the state's proficiency rates, while others fall significantly behind. This suggests the need for a more comprehensive analysis to identify the root causes of these disparities and develop targeted interventions.
Additionally, Caddo Academy serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 78.17% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance and should be considered when evaluating its effectiveness and developing strategies for improvement. Overall, while Caddo Academy has access to more resources than the state average, its inconsistent academic performance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population indicate the need for a closer examination of the school's practices and the implementation of targeted interventions to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
