Summary:
The Wynne School District in Arkansas is home to a single high school, Wynne High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges, its academic performance has been declining in recent years compared to other high schools across the state.
Wynne High School's statewide ranking has dropped from 90th out of 282 Arkansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 214th out of 305 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, with only 23.2% of students proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts and just 13.7% proficient or better in ATLAS/Algebra, compared to state averages of 33.8% and 26.8%, respectively.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's declining performance and underperformance in core subjects indicate that there may be opportunities for the district to examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting its student population to help Wynne High School improve its academic outcomes.
