The school is part of the Crossett School District, which is ranked 216 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Crossett High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas high schools, with a ranking of 235 out of 305 schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crossett High School's academic performance is significantly below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

Similarly, in ATLAS/Algebra, Crossett High School had only 15.7% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.8%. Additionally, Crossett High School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 55.6% of students in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While Crossett High School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,319, which is higher than the nearby Hamburg High School ($10,353), it is still below the state average. Crossett High School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with 10.3 students per teacher in the 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than the nearby Hamburg High School, which had a ratio of 11.3 students per teacher. However, these potential strengths do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as instructional quality and school leadership, may be playing a more significant role in the school's performance.

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.
