Summary:
The Bauxite School District in Arkansas is home to two high schools: Bauxite High School and Miner Academy. While Bauxite High School is the larger of the two with 549 students, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 70th out of 295 Arkansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 133rd out of 291 in 2024-2025. However, the school still maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other schools in the state.
In contrast, Miner Academy is a public charter high school with only 09 students enrolled. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools, ranking 161st out of 305 in 2023-2024 and 190th out of 282 in 2021-2022. Despite its smaller size, Miner Academy has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. Interestingly, the school's proficiency rates in Geometry and Biology are higher than the district and state averages, suggesting a more specialized focus or approach to education.
When it comes to academic performance, Bauxite High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, and Biology are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, but the school struggles in Algebra and Geometry, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. Miner Academy, on the other hand, lacks data for many subject areas, making it difficult to compare its academic performance to Bauxite High School or the state as a whole. Additionally, Bauxite High School has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 29.87%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which may present additional challenges for the school.
