Summary:
In zip code 72063, there is one high school, Wonderview High School, serving grades 7 through 12 in the rural community of Hattieville, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 226 students.
Wonderview High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 6.5:1, which allows for significant individualized attention. It also has a strong graduation rate of 92.1%, above the state average, and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%. However, academic proficiency in core subjects is a major concern. In the most recent testing year, the school's performance was well below state averages in nearly every subject. The most critical weakness is in advanced math, with only 9.7% of students proficient in Algebra and a mere 2.4% in Geometry, compared to state averages of 36.9% and 26.4%, respectively. The school's state ranking has also declined sharply, dropping from the 33rd percentile to the 11th percentile over three years, and it is now rated as a 1-star school. The Wonderview School District is ranked 215th out of 251 districts in Arkansas.
Despite spending $13,722 per student, the school's academic outcomes suggest a disconnect between resources and results. While 7th-grade math proficiency (41.2%) approaches the state average, this progress is not sustained into higher-level courses. For parents, the school offers a supportive, small-school environment with a high graduation rate, but it faces significant challenges in bringing students to grade-level proficiency, particularly in math and science. The declining state ranking indicates a trend that warrants close attention to the school's academic programs and curriculum.
