Summary:
Zip code 71762 is home to a single high school, Smackover High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 347 students as part of the Smackover Norphlet School District.
Smackover High School stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.2:1, which is far below the national average and suggests a highly personalized learning environment. The school also boasts a strong graduation rate of 91.5%, above the state average of 90.1%, and spends $14,821 per student. However, performance has been volatile; the school earned a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year (ranking in the 67th percentile), a dramatic improvement from a 1-star rating in 2024-2025 (29th percentile). This improvement is reflected in test scores, with English Language Arts proficiency jumping from 20.4% to 40.7% and Reading from 20.8% to 41.3% year-over-year, now slightly above state averages.
A critical weakness is Geometry proficiency, where only 10.6% of students are proficient—less than half the state average of 26.4%. Performance in Algebra (35.9%) and Biology (40.0%) also trails state averages. The school serves a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 43.8% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. While the low student-teacher ratio and high spending likely contribute to the high graduation rate and recent test score gains, addressing the Geometry gap will be key to future success.
