Summary

Hoxie Elementary School in Hoxie, AR, serves 500 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Hoxie School District, a district ranked in the 35th percentile statewide. The school stands out for its extremely high level of economic need, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a figure significantly higher than nearby schools like Westside Elementary School (55%) and Sloan-Hendrix Elementary School (71%). Despite these challenges, Hoxie is a relatively strong performer compared to its immediate neighbors, ranking 320th out of 491 elementary schools in Arkansas, which is notably higher than the much lower-ranked Walnut Ridge Elementary School (413th).

A key differentiator for Hoxie is its relative strength in Science, where 41.1% of all students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, coming close to the state average of 44%. In fact, 3rd and 4th graders at Hoxie actually exceeded the state average in Science, with proficiency rates of 48.8% and 51.6%, respectively. However, this strength is not consistent across all subjects or grade levels. While 3rd graders show a "bump" in performance, outperforming the school average in Math (47.5%), Science (48.8%), and Reading (40.1%), proficiency rates drop significantly in the upper elementary grades. For example, 5th grade Science proficiency plummets to just 23%, suggesting a potential challenge in maintaining effective instruction as students get older.

The school's state ranking has been on a declining trend over the past five years, falling from a high of 221st in 2020-2021 to 320th in 2025-2026, though there was a slight improvement from the previous year. With a student-teacher ratio of 18.1, Hoxie has the largest class sizes among its peer group, which is higher than the Math & Science Magnet School (15.4) and Imboden Area Charter School (14.0). Per-student spending of $11,444 is slightly above the state average but not exceptionally high, suggesting that the school's performance is more heavily influenced by the high poverty rate than by marginal differences in funding.
