Summary:
The 72937 zip code area is home to two schools, Hackett Elementary School and Hackett High School, both part of the Hackett School District. While the district is ranked 155 out of 250 in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating, the high school appears to be the stronger performer of the two schools.
Hackett High School has a higher statewide ranking with a 3-star rating, and its students demonstrate higher proficiency rates across most subject areas and grade levels compared to the elementary school. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Hackett High School had a 40.4% proficiency rate in math, while the elementary school's rate was 32.7%. Additionally, the high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 6.1, which may contribute to its better academic performance.
However, both schools face significant challenges, with proficiency rates well below state averages in most subjects. The high free and reduced-price lunch rates, over 100% at the elementary school, suggest a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, the overall spending levels are relatively low compared to state averages, which may be a factor in the academic challenges faced by the district.
