Summary

Clarendon High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Clarendon, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 194 students. The school is part of the Clarendon School District, which is ranked 244 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clarendon High School has consistently underperformed the state average on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates often less than half the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, Algebra, Geometry, and Science were all significantly below the state averages, often by 20 percentage points or more. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite the high spending of $15,631 per student at Clarendon High School, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Hazen High School ($12,662) and Brinkley High School ($13,889), the school is not achieving commensurate academic results. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and implement more effective interventions to improve student outcomes.
