Summary:
The Magnolia School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Magnolia High School, which is struggling academically. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 165th out of 295 Arkansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 240th out of 305 in 2023-2024, and it is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Magnolia High School has 780 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which is slightly higher than the state average. The school's spending per student is $12,014, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, with only 20.3% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.7%.
The high percentage of students (57.69%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at Magnolia High School indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, combined with the school's poor academic performance, suggests that the school may need to implement significant interventions and reforms to improve student outcomes and better serve its community.
