While White Hall High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 60th out of 282 Arkansas high schools in 2018-2019 to 200th out of 305 in 2023-2024, its academic performance on standardized tests remains below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at White Hall High School, as well as the school's relatively higher student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools, may be contributing factors to its lower academic 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.
