Omaha High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 31st out of 282 Arkansas high schools in 2016-2017 and 2021-2022 to 192nd out of 305 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year.

These schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more socioeconomically diverse student population. Addressing the challenges faced by Omaha High School, such as declining academic performance and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, should be a priority for the school and district leadership.

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.
