England High School significantly underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 13.5% of 10th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.2%. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rates are well below the state average, with only 12.5% of students proficient in Algebra and 2.8% proficient in Geometry. The school's spending per student is $11,595, which is higher than the state average, but the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 9.9 to 10.4 in recent years.

While the nearby Mills University Studies High School and Lonoke High School also face academic challenges, they generally outperform England High School across various subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the issues at England High School may be more severe and require a more comprehensive approach to improvement, particularly given the school's 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, which indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
