Summary:
The Searcy County School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Marshall Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 196th out of 492 elementary schools in the state in 2022-2023, but dropping to 306th out of 487 in 2021-2022.
Marshall Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. In 2023-2024, the school outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts and Reading, but underperformed in Mathematics. In Science, the school's performance was slightly below the district average but above the state average. On the ACT Aspire tests in 2022-2023, the school outperformed the district and state in English and Reading for 3rd grade, but underperformed in Math and Science.
The school serves a student population with a very high percentage (98.98%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the national average, and the student-teacher ratio is relatively low, suggesting that the school has access to adequate resources and funding that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
