Summary

Yellville-Summit High School is a small, rural high school in Yellville, Arkansas, serving 312 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Yellville Summit School District, which has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 48th out of 251 districts statewide. This school stands out for its remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from a 2-star, 151st-place ranking in 2022-2023 to a 4-star, 45th-place ranking in 2025-2026—a leap of over 100 spots in just three years that outpaces any nearby school. Despite over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school achieves strong results, including a 93.1% graduation rate in 2021-2022, outperforming peers like Lead Hill High School (80.7%) and Cotter High School (90.5%) despite similar economic challenges.

Academically, Yellville-Summit excels in science and geometry, with 54% of students proficient in Biology (well above the state average of 42.7%) and 41% proficient in Geometry (far exceeding the state average of 26.4%). Its 9th-grade Geometry proficiency rate of 91.3% is exceptionally high, suggesting a strong advanced math track for younger students. However, the school struggles with Algebra, where only 21% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 36.9%, a consistent trend over two years. This contrasts with nearby Bergman High School, which has lower poverty rates (46.8% free/reduced lunch) and more balanced math scores, and Valley Springs High School, which achieves 42.9% Geometry proficiency but with a smaller economic disadvantage gap.

The school’s performance in English Language Arts (42.8% proficient) and Reading (52.1% proficient) is only slightly above state averages, indicating room for growth in literacy. With a low student-teacher ratio of 3.9 and spending of $13,803 per student—higher than Bergman ($13,295) and Cotter ($11,992) but lower than Lead Hill ($16,106)—Yellville-Summit appears to invest strategically in small class sizes, yielding strong science and geometry results. The "Cotter Paradox" highlights that Cotter High School, facing identical poverty levels, outperforms in most subjects (e.g., 65.8% vs. 21% in Math), suggesting Yellville-Summit could learn from Cotter’s math instruction to close the gap. Overall, this school is a story of resilience and rapid improvement, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a supportive, upward-trending environment.
