Arkansas School For The Blind High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Ark. School For The Blind High School is a small public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas that serves grades 7-12 and specializes in educating students who are blind or visually impaired. With only 35 students, it is significantly smaller than the nearby high schools, which range from 82 to 2,338 students.

The school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.1 to 2.9 over the past few years, suggesting a high level of individualized attention for students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on various state assessments, is mixed - it outperforms the state average in some areas, such as Biology, but lags behind in others, such as Geometry and Math. Compared to the nearby high schools, Ark. School For The Blind High School generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates in most subject areas. This may be due in part to the school's specialized focus and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's fluctuating ranking and performance, its small size, individualized attention, and specialized curriculum suggest that it may be meeting the specific needs of its unique student population in ways that are not fully captured by standardized test scores. The Ark. School For The Blind District is ranked 11 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating that the district as a whole is performing well.
