Summary:
The Wynne School District is home to a single high school, Wynne High School, which serves 723 students in grades 9 through 12 in a community where just over half of the students (51.18%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Wynne High School is a school on the rise, showing a strong upward trend in its state ranking from the 30th percentile to the 41st percentile over three years. The school invests heavily in its students, with a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 6.7:1 and per-student spending of $21,915. This investment appears to be paying off in some areas, as the school saw dramatic year-over-year improvements in core subjects between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, with English Language Arts proficiency jumping from 25.2% to 37.1% and Reading from 24.9% to 38.4%. The graduation rate of 91.7% also slightly exceeds the state average.
However, the school presents a mixed picture of performance. A standout strength is 9th-grade Biology, where 80% of students are proficient, well above the state average of 72.2%. In contrast, mathematics is a critical weakness, with Algebra proficiency at just 18.7% and Geometry at a concerning 10.0%—both roughly half the state average. A significant performance gap also exists between grade levels, with 9th graders consistently outperforming 10th graders in every subject, most notably in Geometry (38.4% vs. 4.6%) and Biology (80% vs. 26.5%). This suggests that while the school is making strong progress with its current 9th-grade cohort, it faces challenges in maintaining that momentum into the 10th grade, particularly in math.
