Summary:
The Arkadelphia School District in Arkansas serves students from 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Goza Middle School standing out as the top performer in the district, while the other schools face challenges, particularly in math and science.
Goza Middle School appears to be the strongest school, with the highest statewide ranking, the best proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Peake Elementary struggles, with only 23.6% of students proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 36.4%. The data also shows very low proficiency rates in algebra and geometry across the high school and middle school grades, suggesting a need to focus on strengthening the math curriculum and instruction.
The schools in the Arkadelphia School District face challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.9% at Arkadelphia High School to 64.94% at Louisa Perritt Primary. This, coupled with the relatively low academic performance, may indicate equity concerns that the district needs to address through targeted interventions and support for economically disadvantaged students.
