Summary:
The Guy-Perkins School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Guy-Perkins Elementary School and Guy-Perkins High School. The district serves a high-need student population, with both schools having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While Guy-Perkins High School has performed well, ranking in the top 38% of Arkansas high schools, the elementary school's performance has been more mixed. The elementary school's reading proficiency scores are consistently higher than the state average, but its math proficiency has struggled, with several grade levels scoring well below the state average. Additionally, the elementary school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 242 out of 497 schools in 2023-2024 to 286 out of 492 in 2022-2023.
Both schools benefit from low student-teacher ratios, with the elementary school having a 9.6 ratio and the high school having a 5.6 ratio, both lower than the state average. However, the high poverty levels in the district may require additional resources and support to address the unique challenges these students face.
