Summary:
The Drew Central School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Drew Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 147th out of 291 high schools in 2024-2025 and 232nd out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
Drew Central High School's academic performance is generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions. For example, the school's proficiency rate in ATLAS/Algebra for all grades (41.4%) was higher than the state average (30.9%) in 2024-2025. However, the school's proficiency rates in ATLAS/Geometry for 10th grade (14.4%) and all grades (24.4%) were lower than the state averages (13.4% and 21.5%, respectively). The school also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
While the school's performance is generally lower than the state averages, it is important to note that the school's performance is often on par with or slightly better than the overall Drew Central School District's performance. This suggests that the challenges faced by the school may be systemic within the district, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to help improve student outcomes across the district.
