However, Flippin High School performs better in Biology, with 39.7% of students proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 36.4%. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.5 to 8 students per teacher, suggests a focus on individualized attention, but this has not translated into consistently strong academic performance.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 71st out of 267 Arkansas high schools in 2014-2015 to 147th out of 305 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Flippin High School has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. To improve, the school may need to closely examine its instructional practices, particularly in mathematics, and explore ways to better support its high-needs 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.
