Summary

The School For The Deaf is a small public school in Little Rock, Arkansas that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with an enrollment of 102 students. As part of the Arkansas School For The Deaf district, the school faces unique challenges in providing effective educational opportunities for its specialized student population.

The school's academic performance is consistently lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 2% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 34.7% and 38.7%, respectively. This underperformance may be influenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.91% to 78.3% over the past three school years, indicating a high proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.9 to 3.1, suggesting a high level of individualized attention for students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Bryant Junior High School, Scott Charter School, and Driven Virtual Academy, the School For The Deaf consistently underperforms in academic metrics. This highlights the significant gap in academic achievement between the School For The Deaf and other schools in the area, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support the unique needs of the student population.
