Hamburg High School

Summary:

Hamburg High School is a public high school serving 498 students in grades 9-12 in Hamburg, Arkansas, which is part of the Hamburg School District. The school consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in Geometry and Biology.

Hamburg High School's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.9%), Reading (26.8%), and Algebra (10%) significantly lower than the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, and 26.8%, respectively. The school's performance on the ACT Aspire and ACT exams is also below the state averages, and it has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.62% to 62.6% over the past three school years. Nearby Crossett High School also underperforms the state averages, but Hamburg High School's performance is generally lower.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 123rd out of 268 high schools in 2013-2014 to 199th out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024, suggests a concerning trend. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Hamburg High School may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing the needs of these students could be a key focus for the school and district. Targeted interventions and support in critical subjects like Geometry and Biology could also lead to significant improvements in student learning and achievement.

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.
