Har-Ber High School

Q: Is Har-Ber High School a good school?

Har-Ber High School ranks 101 st of 305 Arkansas high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Har-Ber High School is a public high school located in Springdale, Arkansas, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 2,274 students. It is part of the Springdale School District, which is ranked 145 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Har-Ber High School consistently outperforms the Springdale School District and the state of Arkansas in various standardized test scores, including ACT Aspire and ATLAS. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 44th in 2021-2022 to 101st in 2023-2024, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other high-performing schools in the region. Additionally, Har-Ber High School's performance varies significantly across different subject areas, with only 7.1% of students proficient or better in ATLAS Algebra, compared to 33.9% in ATLAS English Language Arts and 31.7% in ATLAS Biology.

When compared to other nearby high schools, Har-Ber High School generally outperforms Springdale High School in test scores and academic metrics, but lags behind the highly-ranked Haas Hall Academy schools in the Fayetteville area. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Har-Ber High School, ranging from 50.96% to 54.35% over the past three school years, suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some of the nearby schools, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.

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.
