Cedarville High School

Q: Is Cedarville High School a good school?

Cedarville High School ranks 164 th of 305 Arkansas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cedarville High School is a public high school located in Cedarville, Arkansas, serving grades 9-12 with 241 students. The school is part of the Cedarville School District, which is ranked 143 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedarville High School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, and Algebra were significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.76% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.3 to 9.5 over the past few years, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students.

Cedarville High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, dropping from a high of 100 out of 268 Arkansas high schools in 2013-2014 to 164 out of 305 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, such as Alma High School, which is located about 11 miles away, Cedarville High School consistently underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. Addressing the challenges faced by Cedarville High School, including its lower academic performance and high-poverty student population, will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors.

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.
