Lonoke High School

Summary:

Lonoke High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Lonoke, Arkansas, with a student population of 487. The school is part of the Lonoke School District, which is ranked 129 out of 252 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lonoke 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 are all below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.96% to 66.67% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, Lonoke High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.9 to 14 over the past few years, suggesting a potentially more personalized learning environment compared to some of the larger nearby schools.

Lonoke High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 90 out of 267 Arkansas high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 159 out of 305 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, such as Cabot High School and Lisa Academy North High School, Lonoke High School generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Lonoke High School may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's lower spending per student compared to some nearby schools may indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve academic 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.
