Summary:
The Piggott School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Piggott High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools, with below-average performance on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Piggott High School faces significant challenges, with only 10% to 26.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 16% to 23.5% proficient in mathematics, compared to state averages of 32.7% to 34.7% and 31.7% to 39.3%, respectively. The school's performance in science and biology is also below the state average. These low academic outcomes may be influenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.73% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's small class sizes, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 6.2 to 1, the district's spending per student of $9,493 in the 2018-2019 school year suggests that resource allocation may be an area for further analysis. Addressing the challenges faced by Piggott High School, such as improving instructional practices and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, could be crucial in enhancing the educational outcomes for the community.
