What stands out about Quitman School District
- It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 4% of districts.
- Estimated teacher pay here moved +4.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Arkansas's statewide +9.0% by 4.1 points, a growth rate faster than 23% of the 233 Arkansas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment grew 25.3% here, from 704 students in FY2019 to 882 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
