Summary:
The Hope School District in Arkansas contains only one high school, Hope High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Hope High School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 261 out of 291 Arkansas high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Algebra, Geometry, and Biology falling well below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.7% of 10th-grade students at Hope High School were proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.2%. The school's math performance is particularly low, with only 3.2% of students proficient or better in ATLAS/Algebra for all grades and 1.9% proficient or better in ATLAS/Geometry for 10th grade, compared to state averages of 30.9% and 13.4%, respectively.
Additionally, Hope High School serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the higher per-student spending of $12,395 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
