Summary:

Arkansas Consolidated High School-Alexander is a public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, serving grades 6-12 with a small student population of only 104 students. The school is part of the Division of Youth Services School System, which is ranked 251 out of 252 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arkansas Consolidated High School-Alexander consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 260-303 out of 305 high schools over the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Reading are significantly below the state averages, often in the single-digit percentages. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.12% to 100% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 3.9 to 8.1 over the past three years, the academic outcomes do not reflect a more personalized learning environment.

When comparing Arkansas Consolidated High School-Alexander to nearby schools, such as Central High School, which is located just 1.57 miles away, the school consistently underperforms its peers, with significantly higher proficiency rates and a much higher statewide ranking (129 out of 305 high schools). The school's academic performance has remained consistently poor over the past several years, with little to no improvement in its statewide ranking or proficiency rates, suggesting a need for significant interventions and support to address the underlying challenges facing the school and its 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.
