Summary

Mountain Pine High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Mountain Pine School District, with 294 students. The school district is ranked 202 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Mountain Pine High 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, Math, and Science were 24.9%, 23%, and 19.3% respectively, compared to the state averages of 34.7%, 38.7%, and 38.1%. The school also has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools like Fountain Lake Charter High School and Jessieville High School.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 6.1 to 6.7 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools, Mountain Pine High School's spending per student of $12,298 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather the effective utilization of those resources. The school's consistent underperformance and high economic disadvantage compared to nearby schools indicate that it may need to implement comprehensive reforms to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
