Summary:
The Guy-Perkins School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Guy-Perkins Elementary School and Guy-Perkins High School. These schools serve a predominantly low-income population, as evidenced by their very high free/reduced lunch rates.
Guy-Perkins High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 4 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 2 stars in 2024-2025. In contrast, Guy-Perkins Elementary School has consistently underperformed the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates below the Arkansas average in all subject areas and grade levels.
While Guy-Perkins Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 10.1, Guy-Perkins High School has a significantly lower ratio of 5.4 students per teacher. This disparity in resource allocation may be a contributing factor to the academic performance of the two schools. Overall, the data suggests that the Guy-Perkins School District faces challenges in supporting student learning and achievement, particularly for its most vulnerable populations.
