Summary

Guy-Perkins High School in Guy, AR, is a small, rural school serving 155 students in grades 7 through 12, where nearly all students (92.9%) come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, a rate far higher than most nearby schools like Conway High School (39%) or Greenbrier High School (55%).

The school has experienced a sharp decline in academic performance over the past two years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating today. Most concerning is mathematics proficiency, where only 6.1% of all students are proficient—a staggering 38 percentage points below the state average. This is dramatically lower than nearby schools like Rose Bud High School (56.4%) and Mt. Vernon Enola High School (45.4%). Interestingly, the school shows a surprising strength in Algebra, with 43.4% of students proficient—above the state average—suggesting that while foundational math skills are weak, some advanced instruction is effective. The school also spends significantly more per student ($16,886) than higher-performing peers like Vilonia High School ($11,815), yet this investment has not translated into better outcomes.

Despite these challenges, the school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.1:1, much lower than larger schools like Conway (17.2:1), which could offer more individualized attention. The graduation rate has been stable and near the state average, but this contrasts sharply with low test scores, indicating students may be moving through to graduation without being fully prepared for college or careers. A notable comparison is South Side High School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population (98.8%) but significantly outperforms Guy-Perkins in nearly every subject, suggesting that poverty alone does not determine academic success and that there may be strategies from which Guy-Perkins could learn.
