Summary:
The Dover School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Dover High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school district as a whole is ranked 53 out of 252 districts in the state, Dover High School's performance is generally below the state average on various academic measures, ranking 145 out of 305 high schools in Arkansas for the 2023-2024 school year.
Dover High School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all below the state average, with some inconsistencies in its performance, such as stronger results in Biology for 9th and 12th graders compared to 10th and 11th graders. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (49.47%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which could present socioeconomic challenges that impact student learning and achievement.
While the school's per-student spending is in line with the state average, its overall performance has declined over time, dropping from a ranking of 63 out of 282 high schools in 2021-2022 to 145 out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024. This suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement in the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to better support the academic needs of its student population.
