Summary

Bauxite High School is a mid-sized public high school in Bauxite, AR, serving 551 students in grades 9-12 within the Bauxite School District, a relatively affluent area where only 31.4% of students receive free or reduced lunch.

Bauxite High School is at a crossroads, showing a significant academic decline over the past decade. After ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide in 2015-2016, it has dropped to the 34th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This decline is driven almost entirely by critically low math scores: only 14.4% of students are proficient in Algebra, compared to the state average of 36.9%. In contrast, nearby Benton High School has surged to the 95th percentile, and Harmony Grove High School now ranks in the 75th percentile. Interestingly, Bauxite’s top math students—those taking Geometry in 9th grade—perform well (58.6% proficient), but the general student body is being left behind. The school also spends just $10,607 per student, the lowest among nearby schools, which may contribute to its challenges.

Despite these academic struggles, Bauxite maintains a strong graduation rate of 94.4%, above the state average and competitive with top-performing neighbors like Bryant High School (94.6%). The school also shows relative strength in Biology, with 32.5% proficiency, outperforming Little Rock Southwest High School (11.6%). This suggests Bauxite is effective at keeping students on track to graduate, but must urgently address its math curriculum to reverse its downward trend and reclaim its former standing as a top-tier school in the region.
