Hope School District

The Hope School District in Arkansas serves 6 schools, including 1 elementary school, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 204 out of 252 in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in educational outcomes.

The standout school in the district appears to be Hope Academy of Public Service, a middle school that has consistently ranked in the top 50 middle schools in Arkansas over the past 3 years and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all subject areas. In contrast, Beryl Henry Upper Elementary and Yerger Junior High School appear to be the lowest performing schools, with very low proficiency rates compared to the state.

The data reveals significant disparities in educational opportunities and resources within the Hope School District. All schools have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Student-teacher ratios vary widely, with smaller ratios at the higher-performing middle schools potentially contributing to their stronger academic performance. Addressing these inequities and ensuring more equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district should be a top priority.
