Summary:
Rivercrest School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Rivercrest Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 609 students. While the school has a relatively high student population, its academic performance has been inconsistent and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in Arkansas.
Rivercrest School District itself is also ranked 190 out of 252 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Rivercrest Elementary's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science have been below the state averages, ranging from 31.2% to 48.9% proficient or better. The school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments has been mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others performing below.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students at Rivercrest Elementary who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in the 2022-2023 school year. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. With per-student spending of $9,683 in 2018-2019, the school appears to have adequate financial resources, but the data suggests the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
