Elementary Schools in Lamar School District


Summary:

The Lamar School District in Arkansas has one elementary school, Lamar Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively large student population of 621, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

Lamar Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 215 out of 487 Arkansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 254 out of 497 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on ATLAS/English Language Arts, ATLAS/Reading, and ATLAS/Mathematics is below the state average for all grades and individual grade levels. In ACT Aspire testing, the school's performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others performing below.

The school faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 66.99% in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,533, which is slightly above the state average, but the mixed performance on standardized tests suggests that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Lamar Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions or strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
