Summary:
The Camden Fairview High School is the sole high school serving the Camden Fairview School District in Arkansas, educating students in grades 9-12. With a total enrollment of 704 students, the school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently falls well below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels.
The school's standardized test scores are particularly low, with only 12.9% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.7%. The math performance is even more alarming, with just 2% of students proficient or better in Algebra and 1.7% in Geometry. The school's science scores are also concerning, with only 10.7% of students proficient or better in Biology. Despite the district's investment in the school, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 and spending of $11,372 per student, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
The high percentage of students (99.57%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the low academic performance. The school's consistent decline in statewide ranking, from 261st out of 282 high schools in 2021-2022 to 287th out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's struggles and support the unique needs of its student population.
