Summary:
The Beebe School District is home to a single high school, Beebe High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with a total enrollment of 1,049 students in a moderately-sized Arkansas community.
Beebe High School stands out as a consistently strong and improving school. It has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 70th percentile statewide, a notable climb from its 3-star ranking just two years ago. The school boasts a high graduation rate of 94.1%, which is four percentage points above the state average, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.3:1, allowing for significant individual attention. Across all core subjects—English, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology—the school's overall proficiency rates are above the state average, and it has shown impressive year-over-year improvement in every subject, with gains ranging from 4 to nearly 8 percentage points.
The most interesting finding is a dramatic performance gap between grade levels. The school's 9th graders achieve exceptional results, with 81.6% proficiency in Geometry and 88% in Biology, far exceeding state averages. However, this performance drops sharply in 10th grade, where proficiency in those same subjects falls to 15.7% and 32.3%, respectively. This likely reflects that advanced students take these courses early, while 10th-grade cohorts include students on different tracks. Additionally, while the school's overall Algebra score is above the state average, it is notably lower than the district's overall score, suggesting that middle school math programs may be particularly strong. Overall, Beebe High School offers a high-quality, personalized education with a clear track record of improvement, though parents should be aware of the significant variation in performance across different grade levels and subjects.
