Carlisle High School consistently performs below the state average in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (21.5%) and Mathematics (13.1%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 33.8% and 36.4%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 129 out of 263 Arkansas high schools in 2017-2018 to 237 out of 305 in 2023-2024. However, Carlisle High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 11.8 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Des Arc High School (12.3) and Lonoke High School (9.7).

Carlisle High School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.61% to 62.5% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby Des Arc High School (70.08%) and Lonoke High School (59.96%). Despite the higher spending per student at Carlisle High School compared to the nearby schools, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
