Summary

Blevins High School is a small, rural public school in Blevins, Arkansas, serving 183 students in grades 7 through 12, and is the sole school within the Blevins School District, which ranks in the bottom 2% of districts statewide.

While the school offers some promising resources—including a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 4.4:1 and above-average per-student spending of $15,705—its academic performance is a significant concern. Test scores are dramatically below state averages, with only 9.3% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 10.5% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39.4% and 44.1%, respectively. This is a sharp decline from just a few years ago, and the school now ranks in the 7th percentile statewide. For context, Murfreesboro High School, located just 14 miles away and serving a similarly high-poverty population, achieves proficiency rates multiple times higher in math and science, showing that strong outcomes are possible even in challenging circumstances.

There is one bright spot: 40% of 9th graders were proficient in Biology, which is a strong result compared to the school's other scores. However, the overall trend is troubling. The graduation rate has improved to 89.6%, slightly above the state average, but this contrasts sharply with the fact that fewer than 1 in 10 students are proficient in English. This suggests students may be earning diplomas without mastering the fundamental skills needed for college or careers. The school's combination of high spending, low student-to-teacher ratios, and declining test scores points to challenges that go beyond resources, and families may want to ask about instructional quality and student support programs when considering this school.
