Neither Hackett Elementary nor Hackett High stand out as high-performing schools. Hackett Elementary ranks in the bottom 25% of Arkansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates significantly below state averages in ELA, Math, and Science. Hackett High performs slightly better, ranking in the middle 50% of Arkansas high schools, but still lags behind state averages in most subject areas.

The data suggests systemic challenges within the Hackett School District that impact both the elementary and high school. Low proficiency rates, high student-teacher ratios, and relatively high per-student spending that does not translate to better outcomes indicate potential issues with resource allocation, teacher quality, and student support. Addressing these root causes will be crucial for improving academic performance and providing a quality education for the students in this community.
