Centerpoint School District

The Centerpoint School District in Arkansas serves 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one of which is a public charter school), and no middle schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 85 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Centerpoint Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranked 137 out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several key metrics, including English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates. In contrast, Centerpoint High School and Centerpoint Academy of Agriculture & Skilled Trade have lower rankings and mixed academic performance, with the high school outperforming the charter school in most areas.

The data also reveals significant disparities within the district, such as the high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools, suggesting a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, and the stark difference in spending per student between the high school and elementary school. These findings highlight the need for the district to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance differences between the schools and to develop targeted interventions to support the needs of its economically disadvantaged students.
