Magazine School District

The Magazine School District in Arkansas operates two schools: Magazine Elementary School and Magazine High School. The data reveals a contrast in performance between the two schools, with the elementary school standing out as a relatively high-performing institution, while the high school's performance is more mixed.

Magazine Elementary School ranks 90th out of 497 Arkansas elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the state and district averages in several key test score metrics, including English Language Arts, Reading, and Science. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1. In contrast, Magazine High School ranks 153rd out of 305 Arkansas high schools and has a 3-star rating. While the high school stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 7.2:1, its test scores are more mixed, with some subject areas lagging behind the state and district averages.

Both Magazine Elementary School and Magazine High School have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may be a contributing factor to the performance differences between the two schools, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with academic achievement. The higher spending per student at the high school level suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation between the elementary and secondary education levels within the Magazine School District.
