Summary:
The Clarksville School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Clarksville High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, from 135th out of 295 high schools in 2022-2023 to 191st out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024, there are opportunities for improvement.
Clarksville High School's academic performance is below the state average in several key areas, including English Language Arts, Reading, Geometry, and Biology proficiency rates. However, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates in ACT Aspire English and Reading are above the state average, suggesting potential strengths in these subjects. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.1 is slightly lower than the state average, which may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students (65.78%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school district's per-student spending of $10,132 for the 2018-2019 school year is slightly higher than the state average, the impact of this spending on student outcomes is not clear from the data provided. By addressing the specific areas of weakness and leveraging the school's potential strengths, the Clarksville School District can work to improve student outcomes and better prepare students for future success.
