Summary

Hoxie High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Hoxie, Arkansas, with 345 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.

Hoxie High School has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 54th out of 269 high schools in 2015-2016 (4-star rating) to 224th out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels, particularly in Geometry, where only 15.1% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 21.5%. However, the school performs relatively better in Science, with a 32.5% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 38.1%. Hoxie High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Hillcrest High School, Westside High School, Pocahontas High School, Sloan-Hendrix High School, and Walnut Ridge High School, across various subject areas and grade levels.

Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.8 to 9.4 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, this does not seem to be translating into better academic results, indicating the need to examine instructional practices and resource allocation. Addressing the root causes of the school's low performance, such as socioeconomic factors, teacher quality, and curriculum alignment, will be crucial for improving student achievement.
