Atkins School District

The Atkins School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: Atkins Elementary School, Atkins High School, and Atkins Middle School. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools.

Atkins Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in various subject areas, particularly in 7th and 8th grade mathematics. In contrast, Atkins Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer, with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages in most subject areas, suggesting a need for improvement in the school's educational practices or resources.

While Atkins High School is not the top performer in the district, it still maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and performs reasonably well in certain subject areas, such as English Language Arts and 9th grade Geometry. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios among the schools may contribute to the varying levels of performance, and further investigation into the allocation and utilization of resources could provide insights into the factors driving these differences.
