The school is part of the Hermitage School District, which is ranked 185 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which is significantly higher than the nearby Hampton High School, which has a 72.09% free and reduced lunch rate. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, Hermitage High School's academic performance remains poor.

The analysis of Hermitage High School's data reveals a school that is consistently underperforming academically, despite serving a student population that faces significant economic challenges. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and district, and suggests that there may be opportunities for Hermitage High School to learn from the practices and strategies employed by its neighboring school districts, such as Hampton School District and Warren School District.

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.
