Hackett School District

The Hackett School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Hackett Elementary School and Hackett High School. While the high school is performing better than the state average in several subjects, the elementary school is struggling, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

Hackett High School appears to be the standout school in the district, with a higher statewide ranking (109 out of 305 Arkansas high schools) and a higher SchoolDigger rating (3 out of 5 stars) compared to Hackett Elementary School (ranked 379 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools, 1 out of 5 stars). The high school also has higher proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics for most grade levels, while the elementary school has lower proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels.

Both schools have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, Hackett High School spends more per student ($10,156) compared to Hackett Elementary School ($8,850) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (6.3) compared to the elementary school (15.4), which may be contributing factors to the high school's stronger performance. The Hackett School District as a whole is ranked 151 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district may need to focus on improving the quality of education at the elementary level to ensure a more consistent and equitable learning experience for all students.
