Summary:
The city of Crossett, Arkansas is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Crossett Elementary School, Crossett High School, and Crossett Middle School. These schools are part of the Crossett School District, which is ranked 227 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools in the Crossett district. All three schools have relatively low statewide rankings, with Crossett Elementary and Crossett Middle School ranked in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in Arkansas, and Crossett High School ranked in the bottom third of high schools. Student proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the Arkansas state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points or more. For example, in 2024-2025 the percentage of students proficient in English Language Arts at Crossett Elementary was 19% compared to the state average of 34.7%.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,407 at Crossett Middle School to $11,319 at Crossett High School, the schools are not achieving strong academic results. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 48.86% at Crossett High School to 68.38% at Crossett Elementary School. The data suggests that the Crossett School District faces systemic challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and strategic interventions may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
