Summary

Hermitage High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Hermitage, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 202 students. The school is part of the Hermitage School District, which is ranked 189 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hermitage High School has consistently underperformed the state average in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 20.9% in English Language Arts, 36.3% in Mathematics, and 30.3% in Science, compared to the state averages of 34.7%, 38.7%, and 38.1%, respectively. The school also has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a very low student-teacher ratio, Hermitage High School's academic performance remains poor, suggesting a potential misallocation of resources.

The nearby Hampton High School and Warren High School also serve high-poverty student populations and have similar academic performance challenges, with rankings in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools. These comparisons suggest that the struggles faced by Hermitage High School may be indicative of broader challenges in the region's education system.
