For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 28.6% in English Language Arts, 26% in Reading, 28.6% in Mathematics, and 33.8% in Science, compared to state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, 36.4%, and 35.6%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 325th out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools in 2023-2024, 264th out of 492 in 2022-2023, and 292nd out of 487 in 2021-2022, and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The school faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of students (92.22% in 2022-2023) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,141, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.4 to 1 for the 2022-2023 school year. These factors suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
