Summary:
The Graduate Arkansas Charter district contains a single high school, Graduate Arkansas Charter High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 490 students.
Based on the available data, Graduate Arkansas Charter High does not appear to be a standout performer. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Arkansas high schools, with a ranking of 253 out of 291 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 9.9% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.2%.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $11,070 in the 2018-2019 school year and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 41:1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance of the school remains poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be addressed. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 93.27% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is often an indicator of economic disadvantage and can present additional challenges for the school in terms of providing resources and support to its students.
