Summary:
The Future School Of Fort Smith is the sole high school serving grades 9-12 in the Future School Of Fort Smith district in Arkansas. With a total enrollment of 219 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
The school's academic performance is a major concern, with test scores well below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, only 20.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.7%. The school's math performance is particularly alarming, with 0% of students proficient or better in Algebra and only 6.4% proficient or better in Geometry. These persistent academic gaps suggest the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum and instructional practices, especially in core subject areas.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 4.5 to 1 and per-student spending that is above the state average. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 99.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This high concentration of poverty may present additional challenges in terms of providing the necessary resources and support to meet the needs of these students. Overall, the data indicates that the Future School Of Fort Smith is a struggling school that requires significant improvements and interventions to improve educational outcomes for its students.
