Pocahontas School District


Summary:

The Pocahontas School District in Arkansas consists of 4 schools: 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole performs below the state average, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools within the district.

Pocahontas Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 292 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several subject areas. In contrast, Pocahontas Junior High School struggles across multiple subject areas, with proficiency rates well below the state averages, despite having a high 8th grade Algebra proficiency rate. Pocahontas High School performs better than the district average in English Language Arts and Reading, but still lags behind the state averages.

The data also reveals that spending per student varies significantly across the schools, with Pocahontas High School spending the most at $10,655 per student, while Pocahontas Junior High and Pocahontas Upper Elementary spend significantly less at around $7,400 per student. However, this higher spending does not necessarily translate to better performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student demographics, may be contributing to the differences in school-level outcomes.
