Batesville High School Charter

Q: Is Batesville High School Charter a good school?

Batesville High School Charter ranks 150 th of 305 Arkansas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Batesville High School Charter is a public charter high school serving 973 students in grades 9-12 in Batesville, Arkansas, which is part of the Batesville School District. While the school has faced some academic challenges, it provides an important educational option for families in the area.

Batesville High School Charter's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.7%), Reading (27.6%), and Algebra (23.5%) were lower than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, such as Concord High School and Cave City High Career & Collegiate Preparatory School, Batesville High School Charter's performance is mixed, with the school generally outperforming some schools but lagging behind others. Additionally, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 9.5, which is higher than the nearby schools.

One interesting finding is that Batesville High School Charter's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 62nd out of 267 Arkansas high schools in 2014-2015 to 150th out of 305 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 3. This suggests that the school's academic performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Batesville High School Charter and the nearby schools suggests that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may be a contributing factor to the relatively lower academic performance observed across these schools.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
