Creative Action Team School

Summary:

Creative Action Team School is an alternative public school located in Hope, Arkansas, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 54 students. The school is part of the Hope School District, which is ranked 204 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's test scores are significantly lower than the Hope School District and the state of Arkansas across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 1.9% of students were proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts for all grades, compared to 22% for the Hope School District and 33.8% for Arkansas. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.4 to 3.2 students per teacher over the past three school years, suggesting a high level of individualized attention and support for students.

The consistently low test scores, combined with the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggest that the school may face challenges in engaging and motivating its student population. The school's high spending per student, at $22,043 for the 2018-2019 school year, raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for a closer examination of how the funds are being utilized. Despite these challenges, the school's alternative designation and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it may be employing a specialized approach to education, potentially focusing on individualized instruction or alternative learning methods.

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.
