Summary:
In zip code 72433, there is one high school, Hoxie High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 in the Hoxie, Arkansas area and is part of the Hoxie School District.
Hoxie High School has a total enrollment of 360 students and an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5:1, which suggests very small class sizes and potential for individualized attention. The school operates with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a student body with very high economic need. The school's graduation rate is 85.9%, below the state average of 90.1%, and its dropout rate is a low 0.5%. The district is ranked 164th out of 251 in Arkansas, earning a 2-star rating, but the school has shown a positive trajectory, improving from the 27th percentile (1-star) in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile (2-star) in 2025-2026.
Academically, Hoxie High School presents a mixed picture. While it lags behind state averages in most core subjects—such as English Language Arts (28.4% vs. 39.4%), Mathematics (32.9% vs. 44.1%), and Algebra (16.9% vs. 36.9%)—it exceeds the state average in Biology, with 10th-grade proficiency at 43.1% compared to 35.1% statewide. A notable concern is a significant drop in 8th-grade performance across all subjects, with ELA proficiency falling to just 12% versus the state's 37.2%. Algebra is a major weakness, especially in 8th grade where only 30.8% of students are proficient compared to 73.9% statewide. Despite these challenges, the school's upward ranking trend and strong Biology results offer some positive signs for parents to consider.
