Summary

Hazen High School is a public high school located in Hazen, Arkansas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 252 students. The school is part of the Hazen School District, which is ranked 210 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Hazen High School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and more. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (16.3%) and Mathematics (20.2%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 34.7% and 38.7%, respectively. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 119th out of 264 high schools in 2016-2017 to 251st out of 291 high schools in 2024-2025. Compared to nearby schools like Lonoke High School and Des Arc High School, Hazen High School's academic performance is generally lower.

One factor that may contribute to Hazen High School's academic challenges is its high poverty rate, as indicated by the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.65% to 69.74% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting that the school serves a large population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.9 to 12.5 students per teacher, suggests a potential opportunity to provide more personalized support and interventions to address the academic needs of its students.
