Best Public Schools in Zip Code 71875

Summary:

The 71875 zip code is home to a single public high school, Arkansas High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,060 students. The school is part of the Texarkana School District, which is ranked 179 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arkansas High School's academic performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 174 out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024 to 236 out of 282 high schools in 2021-2022. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics are significantly below the state and district averages, with only 30.4% of students proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts and just 4.8% proficient or better in ATLAS/Algebra. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, these academic challenges persist.

The data suggests that Arkansas High School is facing significant challenges in supporting student academic achievement. While the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the factors contributing to the school's underperformance are likely complex and multifaceted. Targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to address the specific needs of the school and its students and improve overall academic outcomes.
