Summary:
The Hoxie School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Hoxie Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 251 out of 487 Arkansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 309 out of 497 in 2023-2024.
Hoxie Elementary School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with only 28.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 28.3% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 33.8% and 36.4%, respectively. The school's performance on ACT Aspire tests is also below the state average in most subject areas, except for 5th grade English, where the school's proficiency rate is higher than the state average.
The school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, with 99.4% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly lower, it's unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Addressing the school's academic performance and the unique needs of its student population will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices and providing targeted interventions.
