Summary:
The Arkansas Lighthouse Charter Schools district contains a single elementary school, Jacksonville Lighthouse Elementary, which serves students in grades K-5. This school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arkansas, with below-average proficiency rates in core academic subjects.
Jacksonville Lighthouse Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population where 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty. The school's performance rankings have placed it 374th out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 446th out of 492 in the 2022-2023 school year. Standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics are all well below the state average.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 1, which could suggest a focus on personalized instruction, the academic outcomes remain poor. Addressing the needs of this high-poverty school community may require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a deeper understanding of the specific barriers faced by the students and their families.
