Summary

Hickory Flat Attendance Center is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the high-poverty community of Hickory Flat, Mississippi, which is part of the Benton County School District. With 457 students, the school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, academic strengths in core subjects, and small class sizes.

Hickory Flat Attendance Center's 4-year graduation rates have ranged from 81.8% to 89.4% in recent years, significantly outpacing the state average of around 80%. The school also demonstrates academic performance strengths, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where it outperforms the district and state on the MAAP assessments. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.3% to 24.4%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite serving a 100% free/reduced-price lunch student population, indicating a high-poverty community, Hickory Flat Attendance Center maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 to 11:1. This small class size may contribute to the school's academic and graduation rate successes. Compared to nearby schools like Ingomar Attendance Center and Blue Mountain High School, Hickory Flat Attendance Center appears to be a relatively high-performing alternative school within the Benton County School District.
