Two Rivers High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 239 out of 305 high schools and a 1-star rating. The school consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (20.1%), Reading (19.8%), and Mathematics (25.9%) significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Russellville High School (36.84%), Dardanelle High School (63.62%), and Danville High School (71.02%).

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.9 to 9.9 over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools, Two Rivers High School continues to struggle academically. When compared to nearby schools, such as Danville High School, which is located just 7.27 miles away, Two Rivers High School consistently underperforms in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. To address these challenges, the school and Two Rivers School District may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate additional resources, and explore strategies to improve the educational outcomes for their students.

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.
