Best Public Schools in Zip Code 71638

Summary:

The 71638 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school and 2 high schools, all part of the Dermott School District. Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools is significantly below state averages, with no standout performers in the area.

Dermott Elementary School and Dermott High School both have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the proficiency rates at these schools are well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

The presence of Arkansas Consolidated High School-Dermott, a small alternative high school with only 8 students and extremely low proficiency rates, further highlights the challenges facing the Dermott School District. With the district ranked 234 out of 252 in Arkansas and having a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, significant interventions and support are likely needed to improve student outcomes and provide equitable educational opportunities for the community.
