Summary:
The 71762 zip code area is home to two schools - Smackover Elementary School and Smackover High School, both part of the Smackover-Norphlet School District. While Smackover Elementary School is performing reasonably well, with strong test scores and a low student-teacher ratio, Smackover High School is significantly underperforming compared to state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics.
Smackover Elementary School is ranked 219 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It spends $11,686 per student, which is above the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1. In contrast, Smackover High School is ranked 206 out of 291 Arkansas high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. It spends $10,276 per student, which is below the state average, and has an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 7.7:1.
The data suggests that there may be challenges or issues at the high school level that are not present at the elementary level. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Smackover Elementary School (67.22%) indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community, which may be a contributing factor to the lower performance at the high school level. The resource allocation and efficiency between the two schools also warrant further investigation to identify potential areas for improvement.
