Summary

Caddo Academy is a small, rural high school in Norman, Arkansas, serving 237 students in grades 7-12 as part of the Caddo Hills School District, where over 81% of students are economically disadvantaged. This school is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, soaring from the 28th percentile in state rankings just three years ago to the 77th percentile today—a dramatic improvement of 144 places that signals effective changes in curriculum and school culture.

Caddo Academy’s standout strength is mathematics, where 49.4% of students are proficient, outperforming the state average by over five percentage points. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby Kirby High School (45.9% math proficiency) and Mount Ida High School (37.1% math proficiency), despite Mount Ida spending significantly more per student ($17,099 vs. $10,209). The school also boasts a graduation rate of 91.1%, above the state average, which is notable given its high poverty rate. However, English Language Arts and Reading remain areas for growth, with only 37.6% and 33.8% proficiency respectively—both below state averages—especially in the lower grades.

While Centerpoint High School remains the academic leader in the area, Caddo Academy is closing the gap at a faster pace, with Centerpoint’s ranking slipping slightly over the same period. The school’s ability to achieve more with fewer resources than Mount Ida highlights its efficiency and strong leadership. For parents, Caddo Academy represents a school on an upward trajectory, excelling in math and graduation rates while working to strengthen literacy—a promising choice for families seeking a supportive, improving environment.
