Summary

Booneville High School is a small, rural school in Booneville, AR, serving 265 students in grades 10 through 12 as part of the Booneville School District.

Booneville stands out for its exceptional performance in English Language Arts and Reading, where it significantly outperforms nearby schools like Paris High School and Mansfield High School, as well as the state average. This strength is paired with a very high graduation rate of 94.7%, which exceeds the state average and is slightly higher than that of its top competitor, Charleston High School. The school invests heavily in its students, with the highest per-student spending among its peers at $16,056 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6:1, suggesting a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention. However, Booneville has a persistent and severe weakness in Geometry, with only 5.6% of students proficient, which is dramatically lower than the state average and the lowest among all nearby schools. This gap indicates a need for targeted improvement in math instruction.

Despite serving a student body where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch, Booneville achieves strong academic outcomes, particularly in literacy, which is a notable contrast to Paris High School, which has similar economic challenges but ranks near the bottom in most subjects. The school’s state ranking has been volatile, but its core metrics—like graduation rate and ELA proficiency—remain stable, suggesting the ranking shifts may be due to changes in state testing. Overall, Booneville is a high-performing school that excels in literacy and graduation rates, but addressing its Geometry deficiency is key to becoming a top-tier institution in the region.
