Summary:
The Hazen School District in Arkansas contains only one high school, Hazen High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Hazen High School appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools over the past few years.
Hazen High School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 20.2%, compared to the state average of 38.7%. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 216 in 2022-2023 to 251 out of 291 Arkansas high schools in 2024-2025, and it is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Despite the school's higher spending per student of $12,662 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average, the academic outcomes have not improved. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 67.46% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 could be an opportunity for more individualized attention, it has not yet resulted in better academic performance. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student learning and achievement at Hazen High School.
