Summary

Mt. Vernon Enola High School is a small, rural school in Mount Vernon, Arkansas, serving 234 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Mount Vernon Enola School District.

This school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5:1, which is far smaller than nearby larger schools like Cabot High School (17.6:1) and Vilonia High School (12.8:1). This small size allows for a highly personalized learning environment, which likely contributes to its remarkably low dropout rate of just 0.3% to 0.4% over the last three years—a rate comparable to top-performing Greenbrier High School (0.1%) and much lower than Heber Springs High School (2.6%). The school also excels in Geometry, with 46.6% of students proficient, dramatically outperforming the state average of 26.4% and even surpassing Vilonia High School (42.6%). However, it struggles in Algebra, where only 25.7% of students are proficient, well below the state average of 36.9% and far behind Rose Bud High School (64.2%).

Despite serving a student population where 71.37% qualify for free or reduced lunch—a high level of economic need—the school consistently earns a 4-star rating from Schooldigger and outperforms the state average in several subjects. This is especially notable when compared to Guy-Perkins High School, a similarly small, high-poverty school, which ranks much lower (25th percentile vs. Mt. Vernon Enola's 72nd). The school's per-student spending of $12,462 is higher than larger, more affluent districts like Cabot School District ($11,384), reflecting the investment needed to support its small size and high-need population. While the school has seen a recent dip in its state ranking from the 92nd percentile in 2021-2022 to the 74th percentile in 2025-2026, its strong performance in key areas and low dropout rate suggest it remains a solid choice for families seeking a close-knit, supportive high school environment.
