Summary:
The Rivercrest School District in Arkansas contains a single high school, the Academies At Rivercrest High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 178 and 246 out of 291-305 high schools in Arkansas over the past few years, and a current 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Academies At Rivercrest High School's proficiency rates on ATLAS assessments in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology are generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions. For example, the school's 9th grade Geometry proficiency rate was 43.8% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 52%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive attributes, such as a very low student-teacher ratio of 4.8 to 1, suggesting a high level of individual attention for students. However, it's unclear if this small class size is translating into improved academic outcomes. Without more comparative data on other schools in the Rivercrest School District or the state, it's difficult to fully contextualize the Academies At Rivercrest High School's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
