Summary

Flippin High School is a small, rural high school in Flippin, Arkansas, serving 246 students in grades 9-12 within the Flippin School District, a 3-star district that has maintained consistent ratings for the past decade.

One of the school’s most notable achievements is its consistently high graduation rate, which has remained above 90% (e.g., 90.7% in 2023-2024) despite serving a student body where 100% of students come from low-income households. This is a standout accomplishment compared to nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Lead Hill High School (80.7% graduation rate) and Yellville-Summit High School (88.7% rate). Flippin also boasts an extremely low student-teacher ratio of 4.1:1, meaning students receive a high degree of individualized attention. Academically, the school shows a clear strength in Biology, consistently outperforming the state average (45.5% proficient in 2025-2026 vs. 42.7% statewide). However, math is a persistent challenge, with only 28.6% of students proficient in Algebra and a concerning 21.4% in Geometry, well below state averages.

An interesting comparison is with nearby Cotter High School, just 4.4 miles away, which also serves a 100% low-income population but is a 5-star district that significantly outperforms Flippin in nearly every academic metric. This contrast shows that economic status alone does not determine outcomes. While Flippin has been a solid 3-star school for years, its state ranking has slipped from the 69th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 56th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting the school may need new strategies to reach the next level of performance, especially as Yellville-Summit High School has seen a sharp upward trajectory.
