Summary

Star City High School is a public high school in Star City, Arkansas, serving 416 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Star City School District, which is ranked 160 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Star City High School's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, the school's performance in Mathematics is particularly concerning, with only 8.6% of students proficient or better in Algebra and 27.6% in Geometry, compared to the state averages of 30.9% and 21.5%, respectively. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.16% to 73.8% over the past few years, suggests that the school may face significant challenges related to socioeconomic factors.

Compared to the nearby Rison High School and Woodlawn High School, Star City High School generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. Rison High School, in particular, stands out with a higher ranking and better performance across various subjects and grade levels. The school's higher spending per student compared to the nearby schools may indicate efforts to address these challenges, but the results do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
