High Schools in Helena / West Helena School District


Summary:

The Helena / West Helena School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Central High School, which is struggling academically compared to state averages. The school ranks 288 out of 305 high schools in Arkansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.

Central High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (11.2% vs. 33.8% state average), Mathematics (4.2% vs. 36.4% state average), and Science (7.2% vs. 35.6% state average) are all well below the state averages, suggesting the school is failing to provide quality education to its students. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Central High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The school's consistently low proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels indicate that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the underlying issues and help the school improve its educational outcomes.
