Summary:

The Cabot School District in Arkansas is a large, high-performing district with 17 schools serving students from elementary through high school, ranking in the top 12% of the state. The district includes 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, with standout performers like Mountain Springs Elementary School (ranked 10th in the state) and Cabot High School (ranked 20th in the state) leading the way with exceptional test scores and graduation rates. However, the district also faces significant challenges, particularly at Cabot Learning Academy and Cabot Panther Academy, which serve students with special needs and have much lower test scores and graduation rates, highlighting a wide range of performance across the district.

When comparing schools, Mountain Springs Elementary and Eastside Elementary School are the top elementary performers, with proficiency rates well above district and state averages, while Central Elementary School and Westside Elementary School lag behind. At the middle school level, Cabot Junior High North and Cabot Junior High South show exceptional performance in advanced math, with near-100% proficiency in Algebra and Geometry, far exceeding the district average. The district's per-student spending varies widely, from $9,378 at Cabot Middle School North to $14,441 at Magness Creek Elementary, but higher spending does not always correlate with better performance, as top schools like Mountain Springs Elementary spend less than the district average.

Key takeaways for parents include that the district is strong overall but has significant internal disparities, with some elementary schools showing a drop in performance between 3rd and 4th grade, such as Southside Elementary School and Northside Elementary School. The Cabot Panther Academy has a high dropout rate of 9.0% and a low graduation rate of 78.1%, while Cabot High School boasts a 93.8% graduation rate. Overall, the district excels in accelerating top math students and has several top-ranked schools, but families should be aware of the varying experiences and outcomes across different schools, especially for students with special needs or those in economically disadvantaged areas.
