Summary:
The city of Mulberry, Arkansas is home to two schools - Marvin Primary School, an elementary school, and Mulberry High School. Both schools serve a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
Marvin Primary School has a relatively small enrollment of 185 students and is ranked 310 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages, with the exception of 4th-grade math and science. Despite the higher-than-average spending of $11,222 per student, the school's academic performance lags behind the state. Mulberry High School, with an even smaller enrollment of 124 students, is ranked 140 out of 305 Arkansas high schools and has a 3-star rating. The high school's test scores are mixed, with 10th-grade English and Biology exceeding the state average, but math and reading scores falling behind.
The data suggests that the schools in Mulberry, Arkansas are facing significant challenges in providing quality education to their students. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. The high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population may be a contributing factor, and further investigation into the underlying causes of the schools' underperformance is needed to identify areas for improvement and targeted interventions.
