High Schools in McGehee School District


Summary:

The McGehee School District in Arkansas has only one high school, McGehee High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, McGehee High School appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking 234 out of 305 high schools in Arkansas for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 14.9% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.7%. Additionally, 100% of students at McGehee High School receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $12,292 in the 2018-2019 school year, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student achievement. Addressing the challenges faced by McGehee High School will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, teacher professional development, and community engagement strategies.
