Summary:
The Bald Knob School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Bald Knob High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 164 and 183 out of 295-305 Arkansas high schools, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bald Knob High School's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 10th grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is 39.4%, compared to the district average of 39.4% and the state average of 34.2%. In Algebra for all grades, the school's proficiency rate is 11.3%, while the district and state averages are both 30.9%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.06% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.7 and spends $9,813 per student, which is higher than the typical ratio. This suggests that resources may not be effectively supporting student learning, and further investigation is needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's resource allocation, student demographics, and other contextual factors that may be impacting student learning.
