Summary

Atkins High School is a public high school located in Atkins, Arkansas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 335 students. The school is part of the Atkins School District, which is ranked 116 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Atkins High School faces some academic challenges, with test scores generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts for all grades was 31.3% at Atkins High School, compared to the state average of 34.7%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.4% to 68.24% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

However, Atkins High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4.8 to 6.0 over the past few years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment compared to some of the larger nearby schools. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Dardanelle High School, which had a 42.1% proficiency rate in ATLAS/English Language Arts for all grades in the 2024-2025 school year, Atkins High School's performance is lower. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes could be crucial for the school's future success.
