Summary

West Fork High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in West Fork, Arkansas, with 273 students. The school is part of the West Fork School District, which is ranked 132 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Fork High School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.1% of students were proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 34.7%, and in math, the proficiency rate was just 10.3% compared to 30.9% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.16% to 43.18% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, West Fork High School has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 3 to 4 students per teacher, which suggests smaller class sizes.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Har-Ber High School and Haas Hall Academy, West Fork High School generally underperforms on test scores and has higher rates of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school does have some bright spots, such as a high proficiency rate in 9th grade biology (70% compared to the state average of 64.5%), suggesting the school may be doing something right in certain subject areas or grade levels. To improve, the school and district should focus on identifying and replicating successful practices, as well as exploring ways to address the needs of their economically disadvantaged student population.

closed minded school, hold kids with documented issues to the standards of "normal" kids. If you are not in sports they do not recognize you. Small town ran by the same families that founded it. Close Quote
