Summary:
The Piggott School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Piggott High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's small class sizes and per-student spending are positive factors, the data indicates that Piggott High School is a relatively low-performing school compared to other high schools in Arkansas.
Piggott High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling well below state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.9% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.7%. The school's performance is particularly weak in Mathematics and Geometry, with 0% of students proficient or better in Geometry across all grades.
The school's declining statewide ranking, from 210 out of 282 high schools in 2021-2022 to 245 out of 295 high schools in 2022-2023, further suggests that Piggott High School is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.75% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicates that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic outcomes. Overall, the data points to the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student success at Piggott High School.
