Summary:
The Horatio School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Horatio High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 84th out of 295 Arkansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 103rd out of 291 in 2024-2025, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.4 and per-student spending that is above the state average.
Academically, Horatio High School's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science all lagging behind the Arkansas averages. However, the school's performance in Biology is relatively strong, with 39% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.4% for 10th grade and 37.7% for all grades. This suggests that the school may have some areas of strength that could be built upon to improve overall academic performance.
The school also faces some socioeconomic challenges, with 80.18% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of this population.
