Arkansas Consolidated High School-Dermott

Summary:

Arkansas Consolidated High School-Dermott is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Dermott, Arkansas, which is part of the Division of Youth Services School System. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.

Academically, Arkansas Consolidated High School-Dermott struggles significantly, with proficiency rates far below the state and nearby school districts like Lakeside High School and McGehee High School. For example, the school had 0% proficiency in Geometry, Biology, and English Language Arts, while the state averages were 10.9%, 36.4%, and 33.8% respectively. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio is very low, ranging from 2.1 to 5.6 over the past three years, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools.

The school's high-poverty student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. This suggests that the school is facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement. The combination of consistently low performance, high-poverty student population, and resource allocation concerns raises questions about the need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes at Arkansas Consolidated High School-Dermott.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
