Maynard School District

The Maynard School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Maynard Elementary School and Maynard High School. The district as a whole is ranked 158 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts in the state.

Maynard High School stands out with a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 4.2, compared to 15.8 at the elementary school. This suggests the high school may be able to provide more individualized attention to students. However, both schools struggle with low proficiency rates, with Maynard Elementary consistently scoring well below state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Maynard High School performs better than the elementary school in some areas, such as English Language Arts and Science, but still has low math proficiency rates compared to the state.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, over 98% at each, suggest the Maynard community faces significant socioeconomic challenges. This may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance observed across the district. The contrast in student-teacher ratios between the elementary and high school levels is noteworthy and may indicate resource allocation challenges at the elementary level.
