Summary:
The Guy-Perkins School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Guy-Perkins High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and overall school rating in recent years, dropping from 71st out of 295 Arkansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 154th out of 291 in 2024-2025.
Academically, Guy-Perkins High School has shown a mixed performance, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than the state average, while others lag behind. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Reading were generally lower than the state averages, except for 10th-grade ELA and Reading, which were slightly higher. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were mixed, with 7th and 8th-grade Math being higher than the state average, but overall Math and Algebra proficiency being lower. The school's Science proficiency rates were close to the state average, but its Biology proficiency rates were lower.
One notable characteristic of Guy-Perkins High School is its extremely high percentage of students (99.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,098, which is higher than the state average, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.4 to 1, suggesting a relatively high level of individual attention for students. However, the academic outcomes do not necessarily reflect this investment, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning.
