Cossatot River High School

Summary:

Cossatot River High School is a public high school located in Cove, Arkansas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Cossatot River School District, which is ranked 64 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively well-ranked district, Cossatot River High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools, with a ranking of 123 out of 305 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as ATLAS and ACT Aspire, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in core subjects like Algebra and Geometry. Additionally, the school serves a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with rates consistently above 99% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the closest comparable school, Mena High School, which is part of the Mena School District, generally outperforms Cossatot River High School on standardized tests and has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the academic challenges faced by Cossatot River High School, and the school may need to explore targeted interventions or support programs to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
