Summary:
The Huntsville School District in Arkansas is home to two high schools: Huntsville High School and St. Paul High School. While Huntsville High School is the larger of the two with 604 students, both schools are ranked relatively low in the state, with Huntsville High School ranked 191 out of 291 Arkansas high schools and St. Paul High School ranked 166 out of 291 for the 2024-2025 school year.
Academically, both schools perform below the state average in most subject areas, with particularly low proficiency rates in math and algebra. However, St. Paul High School outperforms Huntsville High School in English Language Arts and Reading for some grade levels. Interestingly, St. Paul High School has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 6.9 compared to 9.6 at Huntsville High School, and it spends more per student at $14,537 compared to $11,470 at Huntsville High School.
Despite the differences in resources, the overall performance of both schools suggests that the Huntsville School District as a whole may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, over 65%, indicate that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can present additional challenges for academic achievement and support.
