Summary:
The 71837 zip code area is home to 3 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades: Fouke Elementary School, Fouke High School, and Paulette Smith Middle School. These schools, operated by the Fouke School District, serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Among the three schools, Fouke High School stands out as the highest performer, consistently ranking in the top 100 high schools in Arkansas and earning strong proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Reading. In contrast, Fouke Elementary School struggles with test scores, performing below the state average in most subjects and grade levels despite having a relatively high per-student spending level.
The data also reveals a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district, with Fouke High School spending significantly more per student and having a much lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other two schools. This disparity may be a contributing factor to the performance differences observed across the district.
