Beebe School District

The Beebe School District in Arkansas consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district as a whole performs well, with all schools ranking in the top half of their respective categories in the state.

Beebe Junior High School stands out as a top-performing middle school, consistently ranking among the top 30 in Arkansas and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in mathematics, with over 50% of students proficient or better across all grades. Meanwhile, Beebe High School also performs well, ranking in the top 100 high schools in the state and showing improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

Across the district, test scores in core subjects are generally at or above state averages, with some grade levels and subjects performing significantly better. However, the schools in the Beebe School District have relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 46% at Beebe High School to 63% at Beebe Early Childhood. This suggests potential socioeconomic challenges that the district may need to address. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate that the district may allocate resources unevenly, potentially favoring the high school over the elementary and middle schools.
