Fouke School District

The Fouke School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: Fouke Elementary School, Fouke High School, and Paulette Smith Middle School. The data analysis reveals that Fouke High School is the standout performer in the district, with higher proficiency rates, a stronger statewide ranking, and better academic outcomes compared to the elementary and middle schools.

Fouke High School has a statewide school digger ranking of 91 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and a 4-star rating, indicating it is one of the top-performing high schools in the state. The school outperforms the district and state averages on key metrics such as English Language Arts, Reading, Biology, Algebra, and Geometry proficiency rates. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district have lower rankings and 2-3 star ratings, suggesting they face more challenges in academic achievement.

While the district as a whole has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage, the data shows significant variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools. Fouke High School spends the most per student and has the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger performance. The elementary and middle schools, on the other hand, have lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios, which could be factors in their lower academic outcomes.
