Summary:
The Arkansas Lighthouse Charter Schools district contains a single high school, Jacksonville Lighthouse High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arkansas high schools, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state averages.
Jacksonville Lighthouse High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 6.7% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.2%. The school's performance in Math and Science is also well below the state averages. Despite higher per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the student population.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.51% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the low academic performance. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that takes into account the unique needs of the school and its student population.
