Summary

Quitman High School is a small, rural school in Quitman, Arkansas, serving 308 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Quitman School District, which ranks in the top 30% of districts statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 7.9:1, far lower than nearby schools like Greenbrier High School (16:1) and Heber Springs High School (12:1), which means your child can expect more personalized attention. Quitman also spends significantly more per student ($16,566) than most area schools, including Greenbrier ($11,729) and Heber Springs ($12,051). However, despite this high investment, recent test scores on the new ATLAS exam show room for improvement, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36%) and Algebra (29.4%) slightly below state averages. A bright spot is Biology, where 48.7% of students are proficient, outpacing the state average of 42.7%. The school has seen a sharp drop in its state ranking this year, likely tied to the new testing format, but it still outperforms its closest neighbor, Guy-Perkins High School, in nearly every academic metric.

On the positive side, Quitman excels at keeping students on track to graduate, with a high graduation rate of 93.9% and an extremely low dropout rate of just 0.6%. This suggests a supportive environment where students feel connected and are guided to completion. While the school faces challenges in boosting core academic proficiency, its small class sizes and strong biology program offer clear advantages. For parents seeking a close-knit school with a focus on student retention and individualized learning, Quitman is a solid option within its immediate area, though you may want to explore top-performing schools like West Side High School or Greenbrier if test scores are a top priority.
