Summary:
The Jonesboro School District has only one high school, The Academies At Jonesboro High School, which serves grades 10-12. The school has a student enrollment of 1,386 and is ranked 238 out of 305 Arkansas high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Academies At Jonesboro High School is performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests, with only 24.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0.8% in Geometry, and 13.4% in Biology, compared to state averages of 33.8%, 18%, and 36.4%, respectively. The school has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the school's per-student spending of $12,907 for the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to better support student learning and academic achievement.
