Summary:
The city of Foreman, Arkansas is home to two schools - Oscar Hamilton Elementary School and Foreman High School, both part of the Foreman School District. While Oscar Hamilton Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, Foreman High School appears to be underperforming compared to state averages.
Oscar Hamilton Elementary School is the standout school in the district, with consistently high test scores and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, 51.5% of its students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Foreman High School's test scores lag behind the district and state, and it has only a 3-star rating.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools. While Oscar Hamilton Elementary excels, Foreman High School faces challenges, despite spending more per student. The higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school suggests it may serve a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a factor in the performance differences. Further investigation into the factors contributing to these differences could provide valuable insights to help improve educational outcomes across the district.
