Summary

Hoxie Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hoxie, Arkansas, with 499 students. The school is part of the Hoxie School District, which is ranked 176 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoxie Elementary School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.6%), Reading (29.9%), and Mathematics (23.2%) are all significantly below the state averages (34.7%, 35.3%, and 38.7% respectively). The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 99.4% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. At $10,108 per student in 2018-2019, Hoxie Elementary School's spending is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

Hoxie Elementary School's performance lags behind most of the nearby schools analyzed, including Math & Science Magnet School, Westside Elementary School, Pocahontas Elementary School, Hillcrest Elementary School, Sloan-Hendrix Elementary School, and Walnut Ridge Elementary School. These schools generally have higher proficiency rates, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and better student-teacher ratios. Hoxie Elementary School's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, from 221 out of 496 schools in 2020-2021 to 349 out of 495 schools in 2024-2025, with its star rating dropping from 3 to 1 during this period.
