Western Yell County High School's academic performance is consistently below the state averages 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 Mathematics were all significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, a high percentage of students, 88.73%, were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the low academic performance, the school appears to have a relatively high level of spending per student, at $12,859 per student for the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 3.4 to 1, which is lower than the state average and may indicate smaller class sizes. However, these factors do not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement for the students at Western Yell County High School.
