Summary:
The Ouachita School District in Arkansas is home to one standout high school, Ouachita High School. This school has shown remarkable improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 149th in 2022-2023 to 35th in 2024-2025, placing it in the top 12% of Arkansas high schools.
Ouachita High School's performance is consistently strong, with test scores that exceed the state averages in subjects like English Language Arts and Reading. However, the school faces some challenges in Mathematics and Geometry, where proficiency rates are lower than the state average. Despite these areas for improvement, the school's overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger indicates it is performing well above the state average.
The Ouachita School District as a whole is also highly ranked, coming in at 31st out of 250 districts in Arkansas and earning a 4-star rating. This suggests the district is effectively allocating resources to support student learning, as evidenced by Ouachita High School's relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending. With nearly half of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the school to address.
