Summary:
The Hoxie School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Hoxie Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with declining statewide rankings and proficiency rates below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science.
Hoxie Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 298 out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 349 out of 495 in 2024-2025, and it has a low rating of only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in all grade levels are consistently below the state averages, with particularly low performance in Mathematics, where the school's proficiency rate is just 23.2% compared to the state average of 38.7%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $10,108 in the 2018-2019 school year, the school's academic performance remains below state standards. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and utilization to better support student learning and address the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the community. The Hoxie School District and school leadership will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students.
