Summary

Future School Of Fort Smith is a public charter high school serving 219 students in grades 9-12 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The school is part of the Future School Of Fort Smith District, which is ranked 215 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Future School Of Fort Smith has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting a more personalized learning environment, the school consistently underperforms the state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.7%. The school also had 0% proficiency in Algebra and just 6.4% proficiency in Geometry. When compared to nearby public high schools like Hackett High School, Alma High School, and Southside High School, Future School Of Fort Smith lags significantly in academic performance.

Another notable factor is the school's extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.54% to 100% over the past few years. This suggests that Future School Of Fort Smith serves a very economically disadvantaged student population. While this may contribute to the school's academic challenges, the nearby Haas Hall Academy Fort Smith, a public charter school, significantly outperforms Future School Of Fort Smith on test scores, despite likely serving a similar student population.
